Pleasing the Search Engines
1. Search engines love updated content. Pay attention to which sites show on the first page and you will notice that among the sites in keyword competition, it is the sites with the most updated content that win out. Either write your own articles and upload your own graphics and photos or outsource the job to freelancers.
There are many freelancers who write for reasonable rates. With one good writer or writing team, you can improve your site's rankings dramatically. Make sure the writer you choose understands SEO.
2. Keyword strategies include going for those people who instead of searching for 'weight loss' search for 'how to lose 20 pounds fast' and other more specific terms. Do not stuff your pages with keywords. The recommended density of keywords is between 2 and 3 percent of the text on your page.
Excessive keyword phrases are not only recognizable to search engines as 'stuffing', they can ultimately affect the quality of the writing. This is where LSI comes in. LSI involves using phrases that are synonymous with your original keyword phrase. Learn about LSI!
3. The more relevant sites that link to your page, the better your rankings will be. For example, if you sell creative scrap booking products, try putting links about your self-designed scrap booking pages on sites that instruct people on how to scrap book. This is one way of 'piggy backing' on the keywords used by other sites.
Write your own articles or have a freelance writer write some for you. Submit them to article directories and allow other sites to use them providing they leave the resource box or by-line connected to the article. It is a 'scratch my back and I'll scratch yours' strategy and it works for both sides.
4. You can use your blog for more search engine marketing. If you update your blog daily and ping it with blog directories, you will see an increase in your blog's search engine rankings. Link to your site from your blog. This is another means of piggy backing.
5. Purchasing clicks on search engines is another strategy used in search engine marketing. This is how sites are placed in 'sponsored sites' at the very top of the page and along the right hand side on Google. Depending on the keywords you use for this strategy, you will have to pay a few pennies to several dollars in order to beat out your competition.
Yahoo allows you to set a daily maximum amount of money for clicks. If your site is brand new, try the lowest amount of money for a week or so to test how many clicks you get and how many sales you make from those clicks.
6. Monitor your site traffic on at least a weekly basis. Note how much of your traffic is coming from regular search engine marketing. After a couple of weeks of tracking, make small changes to optimize your site's search engine rankings. Continue looking for ways to improve on your site.
Gather all the information you can find on each of these strategies. Search engine marketing, as with all other forms of marketing, is constantly changing. Stay up to date on everything there is to know about search engine marketing and you will see your sales increase considerably!

About the Author: Karla Whitmore
When you write a great press release, positioned properly, announcing a new service, new products, or a new direction, the better your chances that a reporter, news website, or other media representative will pick it up and run a story on you or your business.
It's important to recognize that the media finds a large percentage of their story ideas on the Internet. Writing a good press release will answer the 5 W's: Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
To catch the reader's attention, though, so he will actually move on to reading the content, you need to think about your title. Have a strong headline that will immediately catch the eye and grab the attention of the journalist. Your headline serves a purpose other than just attracting the journalist. It will provide the reader the primary topic of your PR, and make it more searchable within a PR database. Therefore, it is important to have your keywords in the headline.
Remember that a press release is neither a sales letter nor an advertisement. Therefore, you shouldn't write the press release in an attempt to sell your products or services. Your goal with your press releases is to educate the journalist in a way that answers the question they all have, "What's in it for me?" If you can tell the journalist quickly and directly why they should be listening to you, they will then be willing to focus on what you have to offer, and share it with their targeted audience and readers.
Of course, press releases are only effective forms of marketing when they are properly distributed among media representatives. Therefore, the next time you release something newsworthy, submit it to online Press Release databases like these:
www.free-press-release.com
www.prweb.com
www.prleap.com
www.1888pressrelease.com
www.clickpress.com
www.free-news-release.com
www.free-press-release-center.info
www.pr.com
Writing a press release will help increase your link popularity, which is extremely helpful to any serious search engine optimization strategy. This is true because free press release distribution centers will typically allow you to identify some keywords for your press release. Increased link popularity will also drive more traffic to your website in addition to the favorable page ranking you'll see through the SEO results. From a web strategy point of view, you may consider upgrading your account with Free Press Release Centers because your press release will then remain in their system forever, instead of only a limited time.
When you submit the keywords for your press release, make sure that the PR itself is also optimized with those keywords. Use the keywords that are most relevant to your website, services, products, books, etc. This will translate into more traffic because each time someone searches for information, your website will appear among the results as relevant to the topic. Visit website http://www.goodkeywords.com – a free service that will help you search for keywords and phrases related to your particular industry.
Embrace the power of writing Press Releases as a complete PR Marketing Strategy for your small business.
