SEO is a Marathon but There Are Things You Can Do

By Brent Sweet

If you want to speed up your SEO efforts, you must be careful. If Google thinks you are spamming it, your site is done and so is all the traffic to your site. I have some legitimate ways that you can speed up SEO without spamming. The key is Google likes to serve up new and original information, so you need to feed it.

I have a couple of ways I feed Google with new, original information that it loves. You can use things like press releases or article submissions. Also just regular content on your website or a blog can help you do this. I will summarize each one so that you understand how to do it. You can see almost instant traffic from making a few of these a daily priority.

Submitting articles to directories is a great way to serve up content to google. This can make your site have fresh content, and Google will love you for it. You need to find an effective and efficient way to distribute articles that you write. You also need to make sure that your writing is original and unique. If you are able to accomplish all this, then Google will reward you. The catch is that your content has to be useful information, not a bunch of unreadable jibberish that Google will hate. Provide real value to your readers, and they will not only trust you and buy from you, Google will like you too!

I also think a Press Release is a good idea, however they are rather costly. You can either write it yourself or hire someone to write about you. These have the potential to be published both online and off which will give you good links, and extra traffic.

I think that now days every website should contain a blog. This is a community for your users and gives a lot of sites out there a place to link to. If you can update your blog constantly you will get spidered all the time and Google rewards that with rankings. CNN gets a visit about every 8 minutes from Google because their content is always updated. I doubt you can get to that status, but more visits equals better rankings.

If you build unique content on your site besides a blog this can increase your rankings. The key here is to make sure you have content that is so good people will want to link to you. You also need to be sure people can find the content. This can be tricky to write good enough that people link to your site. You can find some tips on the internet, and some people will create the content for you. As long as you are constantly adding pages, Google will reward you with more frequent visits.

The key is to provide lots of your own, unique content to the internet and use distribution channels that are efficient. This way you can get links back to your site and increase your ranking as well as show Google you are full of fresh ideas. - 21151
