Keywords are the in thing as far as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) goes these days. It’s important that to keep in mind when you create a fantastic write up about your company. Three to four key words should do the trick. The trick is to place those words strategically in the first paragraph when you write so the ‘crawlies’ (search engine spiders) will pick it up and chances of your website getting spotted on search engines goes up!
For example, if I were to do a write up about 2LevelsAbove, I would use three keywords – 2LevelsAbove, Search Engine Optimization and startup business. I will then write in a way that would place these words in the first few lines of the first paragraph….something like this:
2LevelsAbove is a company dedicated in helping startup businesses gain popularity in the virtual world using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies and creating a fantastic web site for our clients.
If you only have one of the top 10 spots in Google searches for important key words - here are some ways get more visibility there.
Here are three places that will let you (responsibly) publish information with links to your site. The new thing you write ranks well quickly because it is on existing sites that have great ranking.
- answers.yahoo.com - Strategically creating good questions and answers will get ranked well on search engines and generate traffic to your website or blog. Use the tool and do not always promote something, or the same thing.
- Squidoo.com - Publish your lens with resources and outbound links. Be sure to use the keywords you are targetting in your tags and titles.
- HubPages.com - Freakishly fast and high ranking in Google after publishing on this. Build HubPages on your targeted topic and be sure to include a few links to what you are promoting.
In all three of these cases, you have to add value. If you just post blatant promotional items, it will get far fewer results (and possibly removed.). So be a little smart and post something intellectual
