How will they find your website? by:MaryEllen Gibson

AnnaKate knows how to find what she wants. She lets her fingers do the walking - no, not in the yellow pages that she uses as a door stop, but at Yahoo.com and Google.com. She wants to learn about How to become a Princess, and you have just written Becoming a Princess in 10 Easy Steps, and you sell some great princess

accessories on your website. The good news is that Google and Yahoo and other search engines exist for one simple reason: to help AnnaKate find your website.

Google will show AnnaKate 1,635,000 resources on "Princess". Unless she fails to find what she wants on the first page of the search, or top 10 results, she will never find your website listed 98th in the results. (Actually, if she does not find what she wants in the top twenty or thirty results, she is likely to refine her search to "Princess Studies" or "I Want To Be A Princess".

How do you get into the top 10 results so AnnaKate can find your website? You might have heard a lot about "search engine optimization" and "ranking analysis" and "algorithms". It can be very complex, but here is a 1-2-3 approch to starting your SEO. 
 

1.    A search engine will show AnnaKate only resources (websites) it has on record. So make sure to submit your site to the key search engines and directories. You need to submit it just often enough but not too often.

2.       The search engine will rank highest those websites it feels are most "important". This means you have to show that your website is most important. If you want to be found make sure that your content reflects the key terms that you want to be found in. 


3.       The search engine will show AnnaKate the most "relevant" high-ranking resources. Google might rank www.divaprincess.com relatively very high because princess is part or the URL or website name.

Is this all there is?

 NO.

SEO are free ways to show up on the Search Engines, but if you want to show up for AnnaKate to find you at the top today then Pay Per Click is the quickest way. But that is in next week's E-Blast.
