Step 1: Do it Yourself SEO
Yesterday, I went over to a friend’s house to help her with some questions she had about SEO content. She uses a service that gave her the tools to learn how to do everything she needed to theoretically do to get her site ranked first on Google and other search engines. The service seemed good, her site was well designed, and she had enough tools and tutorials to keep her busy. She just didn’t know where to start.
If you want to do your own SEO, start with a keyword tool that gives you suggestions of words to put on your site. Just take two or three of your initial keywords, plug them into a keyword finder, and press enter or start or whatever the go button reads.
The Web service she used came with a came keyword tool, so I decided to give it a spin. It suggested dozens of words, and next to each word was a number that indicated how many times that word was used in four of the major search engines. Though, it did not tell her how many times a certain word was used in a specific search engine.
What’s the point? Be specific in your SEO strategy. As much as you want to target certain customers, you also want to target certain search engines. The same word that has high value on Google may not have the same value on Bing. I suggest using Google’s Keyword Tool. The more target a specific search engine in your SEO strategy, the easier it will be to rank high on that search engines.
Stay social my friends,
