Did you know that Search Engine Optimization or SEO for short is not a secret language that only nerds know and exploit it to make thousands of dollars from needy marketers who can’t comprehend the importance of page rank? The real deal is, there really are no SEO secrets just search engine optimization best practices and once you understand the fundamentals of optimizing a blog or website you can open up new avenues of traffic and search engine ranking that will improve your results and put a smile on your face.

To be serious for a moment a complete newbie can become quite overcome when even attempting to think about SEO but keep reading and I will explain how you can change all the frustration and turn it into jubilation. Proper blog and website optimization and backlinks is really what you need to learn and one of my favorite resources comes from StomperNet

One of the first things to do is to test the functionality of your blog or website to see how search engine friendly it is. You will need to check for things like keywords, HTML code, and what is contained in your meta tags.

If you apply sensible strategies on a regular basis then your rankings will begin to rise.

Here are some basic SEO Marketing Strategies:

* When you build a website or blog consider the target market you wish to address. Your audience will dictate how your website promotes your particular product or service. Additionally your keywords will influence this as well.

* Use relevant keywords that will apply to your target audience. Keywords should be focused and laser targeted, instead of broad. Broad keywords are very competitive and you dont want to be competing with a ton of other webmasters who will have more established sites and therefore always outrank you.

* Next, analyze what your competition is doing. Check to find out who is ranked the highest and how they got achieved such high rankings. Research to see what keywords they are using by looking at the page source of their site.

* Check things such as meta tags and titles. Your main keywords must be listed in both of these areas. Article titles need to contain your main keyword and the content itself should at least use it and a variation of this keyword or phrase throughout the article.

Additonally, if you create links back to your blog or website this will greatly enhance your ranking position on the search engines. One way links are a great way of doing this even if you don’t receive links back from another site.
