How to Gain Targeted Website Traffic and Ranked on First Page of Searches

As in any other business, it's important to gain targeted website traffic when you're selling products and services online. Fortunately for most of us, the search engines are specifically designed to attract targeted visitors to our websites. That is, of course, if we're listed, and preferably, ranked on the first page of searches.

Beginner internet entrepreneurs might think that getting included in rankings will need a continuous flow of cash. While getting paid listings can get websites listed initially (that is, while it's not fully developed as a website yet), all internet marketers should make sure that they design every aspect of their website according to good SEO rules.

Organic search engine optimization

If you're not in a hurry, it's actually possible to get listed on search engines without paying a cent. This is through organic or natural search engine optimization methods. Organic SEO involves the employment of keyword-rich web page text, easily navigable web pages, and effective domain names.

Keywords and keyword density

When you're writing the text for your website, you need to make sure that it is informative, spotless, and it contains all the significant keywords in any search query. For example, if you're selling watches, you need to include the word "watch", "genuine" or "authentic" and the brands that you're selling online.

Of course, these texts should be human-friendly as much as it is search engine-friendly. You should include the keywords only when it's natural and necessary for you to do so. If you embedded the text with too many keywords, it can sound unpleasant and be recognized as trash text by most search engines. Most black hat SEO tactics include keyword embedding, which could ban the website from search engines permanently.

Domain name and layout

When you're choosing a domain name for your website, make sure that you keep it short and easy to remember. The website's domain name should also include the popular keywords you've researched about as much as possible. Try not to change your domain and URL address so much because the age of the domain name is included in ranking considerations. Try to get the right domain name from the very beginning, and stick to it.

When it comes to website layout, you should keep it simple. Avoid putting in frames because it "traps" search engine crawlers. Frames won't help you get ranked on top of popular search engines. Minimally use flash animations and photos in your web page because these load slowly. Graphics are also not the best magnets for search engine spiders.

What Are the Secrets of Turning Your Website Traffic Into Sales?

When it comes to having an online business, there is one thing that is absolutely critical to your success.

Traffic.

No Traffic = No Money = No Business

And while there are plenty of ways to drive traffic to your website, when you're just getting started online, you need an easy, predictable method for getting visitors that wont' break the bank.

For example, pay per click advertising, like Google AdWords, can send you more traffic than you can handle, but it tends to be extremely expensive especially for someone just getting started with a home based business.

Instead, I recommend that all new online business owners start by using article marketing to drive traffic to their websites.

And to make it drop dead simple for you, I'm going to hand you a super simple, yet effective plan for you to follow.

So, are you ready to get some more traffic?

Great.

Here's all you need to do, and it's easy, but you need to do it every day, okay?

Each and every day for the next 30 days, I want you to write an article. What are you going to write about? Topics related to your website, of course.

Now you're going to take that article and post it on your blog (you have a blog, right? If not, kindly get out a newspaper, roll it up, whack yourself over the head and repeat until you put a blog on your website.).

The next day take that same article and rewrite the first 3-4 paragraphs. You can rewrite the whole thing if you want, but the first 3-4 paragraphs will be sufficient. Now take your rewritten version and submit it to your favorite article directory (I recommend EzineArticles, but if you've got one you like better, then by all means, go ahead).

At the end of your article, be sure to include two links back to your website.

Do this for 30 days. You write one article a day and put it on your blog and you take the article from the day before and submit it to a popular article directory.

I know it doesn't sound as sexy as using automated software to put your content on thousands of websites across the Internet, but here's the thing - it works. And it's easy enough to understand that anybody can do it.
