How To Lose 100k Visitors by Over Looking The Power Of SEO Marketing

No one could have told me ten years ago which was (2002) that seo would become this dominate force of marketing. At that time people were more into PPC and if you know it or not the old fashion free ads marketing. For those of you who are new to the internet marketing game, then this was where you could place these free ads on hundreds or thousands of sites to gain traffic.

This form of marketing was the only way people really knew how to gain traffic because we didn’t have the social world we have today. Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and MySpace was no where to be fund, so the only way you was going to gain traffic was really through paying for it or doing a little hard manual marketing.

So later on seo started to become that form of marketing that no one really knew too much about, but those who did was just dominating the search engines. People was able to take a dead website and turn it into a traffic machine just by building links and content.

 

Why Is Seo Over Looked?

One of the main things I try to explain in my seo marketing series is that seo is the gas that keeps the search engines running. The power of seo enables you to take one keyword and turn it into autopilot traffic. You will think this form of marketing will be attractive to people and everyone will be doing it..Right

The truth is that people are still not understanding the power of seo and not pursuing it like they should. They are not going after the world of seo the way many of the top marketers are. Many people feel that seo takes too long when they can do a little social media and get traffic now.

People thinks seo is only meant for those smart people who know about CSS, HTML or any other technically aspect of the internet. They feel like if your not that smart then there is no way I’m ever going to get this seo thing. When people start to over think seo they are really just looking for a excuse to not use it. So what can I say or do to make people take action and start implementing seo into their lives.

 

Making Seo Moves

First thing you must do before thinking about doing any sort of seo on your website is to learn the entire process of seo. So when I created my seo FAQ’s page, my main focus was to give my readers something that’s laid out in black and white that they could follow. I have learned over the years that people will most likely act on something if they can understand it to a tee, so I say learn what’s is seo first and then jump into it head first.

The way to do this is first to see what keyword you want to rank for that is center around your given niche. So if your niche is about “Dog Houses” then I will try not to go after dog houses because of the competition, but I will try to target something like “cheap dog houses” which is still targeted but a little more easier to rank for. Plus at the same time while doing seo for “cheap dog houses” you might be getting traffic from just the keyword “dog houses” away. This is something you will realize fast with performing seo is that you will start to targeted other forms of that keyword.

Next you should do a little research on how much traffic that keyword gets and if its good for you then I say start your seo campaign. So hopefully a little time down the road if you have done the seo right, you should be looking at at least a top 5 or #1 rankings.

From there you would be getting unlimited amounts of traffic daily from the search engine and without any more effort on your part. This is some of the best form of traffic because its free and it works 365 days and never ask for a vacation. So hopefully I convince you to take that next step in making seo the next move on your online marketing journey.
