In order to get ranked without having to do a ton of backlinking however, you’re going to need a search engine optimization strategy… in this case, proper keyword research. With the right keyword and the right research, you should be able to get ranked fairly easily.

Keyword Research

So let’s get started. You can use Google’s fee keyword tool… it’s great for keyword suggestions, however, their results for monthly searches can be WAY off. I don’t know why they do this, but they do. For this reason I would recommend a paid keyword research tool such as Keyword Samurai, but if you really don’t have the money, you’ll have to go with Google’s free tool.

So start searching within your niche for some keyword suggestions. Using this search engine optimization strategy, in order to get a decent amount of views on your webpage or article I would suggest finding a keyword with at least 100 searches per day (or 3000 searches per month). This sounds like a lot, but it’s really not that many consider you definitely won’t get 100% of those clicks (or close to it), and people who do view your content may be looking for something else.

Narrowing it Down

So you have a starting point… 100 searches a day, obviously all based closely around what your content is about of course. Make a list of several of these, and then head over to Google. Now type each of your keywords into the Google search with quotes around them, i.e. “keyword”, and record the number of results returned by Google (beside or below the search bar).

To be able to rank on Google, you’re going to want this number to be below 15 000. Ideally you want it below 10 000, but 15 000 is doable in some cases.

Now, whether you’re able to rank on the first page with certainty is not 100% based on the number of results returned… it’s going to depend also on how fierce the competition is for the sites which are currently ranked.

First of all, to find the sites that are currently ranking on the first page of Google for your keywords, type your keyword in the search bar WITHOUT quotes. Now take a look at these results… do they all have your keyword in their URL? Is your keyword bolded within the blue hyperlink text for many results? Is it also bolded within the summary text? And when I say the keyword, I mean the full keyword phrase… every word of it.

The greater number of results with your full keyword in all these areas, the tougher your competition. Now, if the returned results for your keyword in quotations is under 10 000, your competition will probably not be too tough, but you never know. So check it out, and if it looks really strong, try another keyword.

Keyword Percentage

For this search engine optimization strategy, if you’re looking to get ranked for an article, you’ll want to include your chosen keyword in 1% – 2% of your article text. I would recommend not going to high over that limit, or Google may think you’re spamming your keyword. Once the article’s done, submit it to Ezine Articles… this is the article directory with the most authority, and has the most chance of getting your article ranked. Once you’re finished, I would recommend submitting the published article URL to the top social bookmarking sites (check Social Marker and choose the top three or four from both columns).

If you’re looking to rank a webpage, ensure your keyword is in the URL. If you want to rank the main page, then buy a domain with your exact keyword in it, or as close to it as possible. If it’s not the main page, then name the page your keyword, with each word separated by a dash, i.e. yourdomain.com/your-keyword. Again, have your keyword in 1% – 2% of the text, include it in the title, and having it bolded once can help as well.

So that’s basically it… your search engine optimization strategy for ranking on the first page of Google without having to create any tedious backlinks!

1.On page SEO, i.e. what is contained on any given page you’re trying to rank

2.Backlinks, i.e. the quality and number of incoming links you have to a certain page you’re trying to rank

Out of the two, perhaps surprisingly, backlinks are far more important when ranking a website in the eyes of Google. However, getting backlinks (let alone GOOD QUALITY backlinks, can be difficult). Well if you’re new to SEO and want to rank your website or article very easily, you don’t want to have to deal with backlinks. That’s what this search engine optimization tutorial will cover… ranking a website based solely around on page SEO.

On Page SEO

So how do you get a page ranked based only around on page SEO? Well first you have to choose a decent keyword and adequately assess your competition. If you want to almost guarantee ranking for your keyword, I would recommend that Google returns less than 10 000 or so exact results, i.e. results when you search for your keyword in quatotations, i.e. “keyword”.

I don’t want to say that this is a 100% guarantee, because the top ten results could be very well optimized and have a lot of backlinks, but I have used it as a good indicator in the past to rank sites fairly easily.

Keyword Research

Ok, so first, if you don’t know a lot about web design and SEO in general, creating a WordPress site is going to make your life a LOT easier… and additionally, Google likes WordPress sites for SEO. Once you’ve installed WordPress, I would simply recommend installing the All in One SEO pack plugin (ensure you configure it correctly), as well as the Google Sitemap plugin.

First off, if you can get your EXACT keyword as a domain .com or .org (these seem to be the best), this will help a lot. If you can’t, at least include your keyword somehow in the domain.

To get your site ranked easily, having more than a single post is ideal, although a single post could be sufficient. If you have just a single post, definitely include your keyword in the post title. If you have multiple posts, include it in one or two titles… don’t include it in every single title as Google will penalize you for overdoing it.

Keyword Inclusion Percentage

Second, have your keyword bolded once in one of the posts. Do not overdo this and bold your keyword all over the place… again… you will be penalized.

Third, have your keyword make up around 2% of your post, i.e. if you write 100 words, two of those words should be your keyword. The exact percentage your keyword should be is debatable, and different people say different things, but I wouldn’t go over 5% at the most.

Fourth, include few Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) keywords in each post (these are phrases closely related to your keyword). Google likes when it sees your keyword, as well as words closely related to your keyword on your page. To easily find some LSI terms, simply type your keyword into Google’s keyword research too, and choose the top few under “related keywords” (unfortunately, you now have to sign into an adwords account to see this info from Google).

So that’s basically it. Following the above steps, and doing a little simple social bookmarking, I have ranked pages in the top few spots on Google! Hopefully this search engine optimization tutorial will help you to do the same.

1) Write About a Marketing Method You Use

If you’re new to the internet marketing industry, whichever company you’ve joined will ideally have provided you with full training on marketing strategies. Do you market with Facebook? Twitter? Listjoe? Articles? Press Relseases? Google AdWords? Marketing strategies alone should give you 10 or 15 solid article topics. Simply write a “how to” article describing how to use each method for marketing purposes. You really don’t need a lot of experience to do this. There are so many people out there right now who have no clue on how to do any of this that you’re already ahead of the game if you have any background in it at all.

2) Read a Marketing-Related Book

The book doesn’t have to be purely an internet marketing-based book… it could be a book on how to run a business, business and mindset (one VERY important variable in succeeding in this industry is mindset, and there are plenty of books on the topic), or anything else somehow related to succeeding as an internet marketer. I was recently speaking to a friend who mentioned a chapter in a book he was reading called “The 10 000 Hour Rule”. The 10 000 rule (based on fact) states that to become world-class at anything you will need to have spent about 10 000 doing whatever “anything” is. This apparently applies to literally almost anything… becoming a world class guitar player, hockey player, chef… internet marketer. Anyway, that’s not the point here. The point here is that an article on this topic could easily be written and related to succeeding in the internet marketing industry. So open the nearest marketing-related book, go to a random chapter, and chances are you can likely write an article on the chapter topic. I am not advocating plagiarism… give credit where credit is due of course.

3) Expand on Previous Topics

It’s likely whichever articles you’ve written contain subtopics. A great way to generate new article topics is to expand on a subtopic of a previous article. Have you written about social media? Then maybe you want to write an article about each individual social media site. Then perhaps there’s a specific topic about each site you’d like to expand upon. This method can be incredibly useful in producing a large number of new topics when you’re stuck for ideas.

4) Read Other Internet Marketing Articles

Again this is not to say that you should plagiarize. Simply seeing what other people have written about can have you generating ideas you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. Researching articles of specific people can also be great for coming up with ideas. If you know of any top producers in the industry, or people who do particularly well with article marketing, see what they’ve been writing about.

You should be able to come up with many solid article topics using the methods listed above. If you’re truly stuck, brainstorming should never be underestimated as well. Once you come up with a fresh new idea you may be able to expand upon it and create several more new articles.

TWEET LATER (tweetlater.com)

Tweet Later is the most useful Twitter program I use by far. The interface is horrible, but you only have to configure your Twitter options once and then you’re done. After you’ve loaded your Twitter account into Tweet Later, go to “Accounts”, “List Accounts”, then “Edit”. You should have at least the following two options set-up.

Auto-follow:
This will follow anyone who follows you automatically. This is essentially just common Twitter etiquette for marketers… if someone follows you, you follow them back. Most marketers on Twitter use this function, which is how you will get your followers; when you choose to follow someone and they have this option selected, they will automatically follow you back, and you now have a new follower. If you gain followers this way, it’s just nice to return the favour. Additionally, the more people you follow, the more likely someone is to follow you.

Auto-Welcome:
I would also recommend checking this and using it. It serves as a great way to start up a conversation with new potential leads. Send a simple message… thank people for following you, and maybe ask them a question to get the conversation started. Do no pitch your business in your auto welcome message. I get this all the time everyday, and I just delete those messages automatically. Be prepared to be bombarded with such messages.

You will also see Auto-Unfollow here. I personally don’t use this (more on unfollowing under “Friend or Follow” below).

Tweet Later also allows you to… Tweet Later. Go to “Tweets”, then “New Tweet”. You can write in as many Tweets as you like and how them published to your account whenever you like. This way you don’t have to return to Twitter throughout the day to post something new. Simply set up a few new Tweets in the morning and then forget about it.

I personally don’t use any other Tweet Later functions, but browse around and see what suits you.

TWITTER FEED (twitterfeed.com)

Twitter feed will Tweet your blog’s RSS feed, i.e. every time you make a new blog post, you will automatically Tweet this to your followers. This is great because it gets traffic to your blog, and you don’t have to worry about remembering to Tweet it yourself.

TWEET DECK (tweetdeck.com)

Tweet Deck allows you to do everything you can do on Twitter, but without having to actually go online to your Twitter account. It has a different interface than Twitter, which some people may like. It also has an option to shorten your url’s (which Twitter does, but only after posting the Tweet), which can help you make longer Tweets. Beware though, Tweet Deck makes really loud annoying sounds periodically, so you might want to lower your volume.

HUITTER (friendorfollow.com)

Twitter recently changed the the interface in the “following” section. Previously you could immediately tell who you were following, but wasn’t following you back, but you now have to click the icon on the right of the screen to figure this out. Yes this seems effortless, but when you’re trying to unfollow 100 people at a time, it takes much longer with the new interface. Huitter allows you to unfollow everyone who isn’t unfollowing you with the click of a button (if you wish to keep following certain people you can specify this). If you wish to unfollow these people, it’s now a lot easier. For anyone who doesn’t know, once you hit the 2000 “following” mark, you must have followers within 10% of your following, i.e. if you’re following 2000 people, you must have 1800 or more followers. Hence, it becomes necessary to unfollow people who aren’t following you, or else you won’t be able to follow more people.

TWITTER BACKGROUNDS (google.com)

I’m not speaking specifically about any tool or website here. Google “twitter backgrounds” and you’ll get several sites with free twitter backgrounds, some with some really really cool images. They’re a lot more interesting than the boring ones provided on Twitter, and they can serve to start up conversations too (I get asked about my Twitter background once in a while).

So there is your “automated” Twitter system. Add as many new followers per day and it won’t take too long to get to several thousand followers (I recommend following less than 400 new people a day, or else your account might get suspended). Just remember to unfollow people, be friendly, and don’t spam people with your business opportunity.

For information on optimizing your Twitter profile for your business, see my blog post “How To Use Twitter For Your Business”.

1) Write an Article:
Write informative and content-rich articles. Again, this is not the place to blatantly self-promote or state that your business opportunity is the greatest thing on earth. Many people out there looking for online opportunities don’t know one thing when it comes to internet marketing. Establish yourself as a marketing authority by posting useful marketing advice (or related topics) and readers will be curious as to what it is exactly that you do, and may opt to join you (your author bio should be at the end of each article, including a link where people can go to learn more about you or opt into your business opportunity).

2) Write a Press Release
Press releases are announcements of news-worthy events, and should be written in the third person. For example you may want to announce the launch of your new business, your website, your blog, or any event that may be related to your business. Use quotes in your press release, as if you were being interviewed i.e. “our business model is one of a kind” said Matt Mossop. Keep press releases short and to the point (around 400 words).

3) Blog
Use the same guidelines for blogging as stated above for articles. Your blog will be used to establish yourself as a marketing authority. I personally post all my articles on my blog, as well as some additional content which I don’t want to release as an article. You should have a capture form on your blog for possible new leads.

4) Create a Squidoo Lens
Squidoo is a website where people share content about about whatever you want. Again, follow the article writing guidelines as above. There are additional options to add pictures and video etc to your squidoo lens, just follow the instructions on Squidoo on how to create a lens.

5) Create a Facebook Profile
Create a Facebook profile (or MySpace etc) as you would if you were using it to talk to friends (keep it professional however, i.e. no offensive content). Don’t make it look like you’re only there to promote your business. Add friends who are also into internet marketing/business, as some of them may be looking for new business opportunities. I personally also add people with similar interests as me, i.e. movies or music I like. Do not push your business onto any of these people. When adding friends let people know you’re looking to network or speak to like-minded individuals. If they decide to ask you what you do and join you, that’s their decision.

6) Use Twitter
Create a Twitter account and follow as many new people a day as possible (limit to 400 or so so your profile doesn’t get suspended by Twitter). Tweet about other topics than just how to join your business. You’re limited to 140 characters per tweet, so it’s not difficult to post other interesting advice or information (a cool video or news story you read for example). Once you’ve reached a few thousand followers (this does take some time to establish), it is possible to get several free business leads per day.

7) Create a Video
Create an informative video and post it to Youtube (or Viddler etc). Simply record yourself talking about whatever business-related topic you wish, it can be as short or long as you want. The more unique your video, the more views you will get.

8) Post an Online Classified Ad
I personally like Craigslist, although they limit you to how many ads you can post within a 48 hour period (three unique ads per e-mail address). Simply create a short ad with a link to your opt-in page and post it.

9) Join ListJoe
With ListJoe, you can send thousands of e-mails out weekly to potential leads for free. The catch is that every e-mail you send out goes to another ListJoe member, i.e. someone doing the same thing as you. Leads are still possible however as some members may be frustrated with their business and looking for something new. You must personally look at other ListJoe members’ e-mail to acculmulate points. The number of e-mails you’re allowed to send it determined by how many points you have. It is not difficult however to accumulate enough points to send out 2000 or so e-mails a week.

10) Post to Online Forums
Join online marketing forums and simply reply to posts, demonstrating your marketing knowledge. Again, this will build your credibility and may have people wanting to know more about what it is you do, and how to join you.

You will of course have to find websites to post your articles, press release, etc. Simply google “free article marketing” (or similar topics) to find sites to post your content on. Free business leads do take more effort to produce in general than paid leads, but if you’re on a limited marketing budget they’re invaluable. As stated above, articles and your blog will also help to establish yourself as a presence in the industry. Further detail on most of the above topics can be found in previous posts on my blog.
