Search engine optimisation is the most effective way to increase traffic and sales. Even though we study to optimise the website, the technology gets outdated very easily. The reason is that people spam the search engines after studying their working technology, and then create ways to rank their website in better position. Is there any standard way to get better perfomance that lasts. I have heard that updating with fresh contents frequently helps a lot. Are there any other ways that can be helpful?

I am a freelance writer, who mainly specializes in website content. Most of my work involves writing articles for website owners who are looking to increase their search engine ranking. As with what you said, fresh content helps. It also helps to target certain keywords. When using keywords, you want to try and use them a number of times in your article. But, be careful of using them too many times because then your content may be considered spam. I am going to post a link below to a website that I use all the time. I love it. When I am writing on a specific topic, such as air purifiers, I enter the word air purifiers into the search box and then it tells me what phrases people are using to search for information on air purifiers. I find it very helpful. http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/

Before you will use some techniques first of all you need to be so aware to who are you listening..search engine optimatization from one side is mystery, because nobody doesnt really knows todays algorithms, the way search engines "pick out the best websites", just those people who are writting them. Horewer, we have many hits, to those search engine algorithms, which makes your seo very successful..but the problem is that one of them used to work, but they dont work anymore, they even can harm your website from seo side..and the people, most of them are totally blind, when they hear something, they always pass it to other people, even thought that that technique may harm your website's seo..thats why is so important to know to who are you listening and before you will gonna use any technique, first of all you need to find real time examples, which would prove that it still working...If you would like to know more about techniques, which still working, please visit my blog: www.freeseobook.blogspot.com

This all can vary depending on what search engine ranking you are using. And really, at the end of the day, is it all about ranking or all about starting a site about some topic you love or have a passion for? If you care about diabetes and you help 5 people....who cares if your site is popular in the seach engines? Do what you love, know about, or care about. The rest is just fodder.

I guess the thing that works over on ranking is just ... number 1 "Money" Number 2 "Beggin" number 3 "friends or visits" and number 4 "interest". Theres sites with alot of spam that are rigth on the top of search engines... why is that ?? Money and friends! I guess that probably internet belongs to the rich ppl. I mean imagin to have your site listed in search directorys ... you have to pay abt 300 dls and this is if your site has any interest... cause if not u will lose. Once more Money. Theres other ways to promote a site to have your traffic going up ... like adv. in newspapers where the average u spend is abt 100 bucks ... still Money here! i have seen worse sites then mine and they are posted over on the top... so ... interest? I Dont know abt it ... cause if some dont even have nothing writed on... once more Money! So basically if u have money you have your spot in the so so famous search engines.Other then that, you have to have a site that calls out alot of ppl to be called "famous" Now dont come up with the optimisation thing cause theres nothing to do with it... Check the codes on some sites that are over there and see how good are they optimisation. Well i could be here talking and talking... but ... its about it .Money, Beggin, friends/visits this is how i see it ! Cheers and hope the very best to you and your site :) and has the season is coming... Happy Christmas and happy new year also!

I don't agree that internet is only for rich people. That's something you've misunderstood. I agree with your other suggestions and opinions. Thanks for the time spent to respond.

Yes, you right! You know why, those worst websites are on the top??? Because some smart people know a lot of seom techniques and they can beat search engines algorithms, I mean that they can fake their websites..remember search engines just a machines, created by people, they dont understand reality...For example if you will type in free chat rooms, most of the results will be paid caht rooms, not free ones...

Regular updation is necessary to remain in a good position in a search engine. But sometimes too much of updation may not work at all.

Every search engine keeps their ranking algorithms secret, many books and articles have been written on the topic, but here is a short summary of the ways you can improve the rankings: Keyword Rich Content Make sure that you use your keyword (the one you are trying to optimise the pages for) in your text often enough, but not too often (I have heard that a keyword density of about 3-5% is good, but I have not seen any research to support that) Incoming Links These are links from other sites to you. The best would be links from other sites about the same or similar topic that use the keyword in the link text Obviously, there is much more, but those are the two that I think are the most significant. As to the frequency of updates, I am not sure that it makes that much difference, only as it affects the above two variables. (the more content you have, the more often you use your keywords, and the more people are likely to link to you) Hope that helps!

I do a bit of web design and have enough clients to keep me busy and fed. A lot of seo specialist feel it's best to take over and do the optimizing research and work, which earns them a lot of money. It takes time to do it correctly without and black hat search engine optimizing. I know the power of search engine optimization and web pages. I teach what I have learned to my clients and get them very involved in their own success. I take pride in the fact that I can show them how to not only out perform their competitors but they can save a lot of money in the process by learning what seo is all about. Then it's all about content. Real content that people are looking for. People that are interested and need or want what my clients are selling. The way the content is presented has a big influence on how it positions in the search engines so I have the client create content for specific keywords and create pages based on those keywords. Example: I have a client that is a bear hunting guide and he wanted to get people from around the world to hire him. So he hired me to create a web site for him and in three years he has always had his camp full of hunters, from various places around the globe. But even better than that. In the three years I have been working with this client he has been getting more clients than he can handle so they have books for a year ahead, so now he has an established customer base and has been able to build a brand new lodge. It's all about content and giving the visitors exactly what they are looking for by creating content pages that are real. Keep adding content. I try to add at least a thousand words at a time. The target groups my clients want to do business with are not marketers but every day people with hobbies, like hunting, fishing, poetry, church memberships... Pick a target market that you can truly solve a problem for. Write content that they are looking for, which takes some research but time well invested. Keep a strong keyword focus on each and every page and always have something for them when they land on any of your pages. The search engines are there to give those seeking the results they can. That is their purpose. So if you write content that your human readers want and write it in the same way those people would search for it, the search engines will love it and eat it up. I hope this all made sense, I had a lot of distractions while writing. :)
