Sorry for not writing original content. I’m in Bekasi right now and this is scheduled post. So I made in hurry. But I found interesting article. Hope it useful.

Want to make your blog/website at the top of search Engine even there is so many blog writing similar topic with yours? Here is 6 Search Engine Marketing Strategies to keep your blog on the top of Search engine.

Pleasing the Search Engines

1. Search engines love updated content.
Pay attention to which sites show on the first page and you will notice that among the sites in keyword competition, it is the sites with the most updated content that win out. Either write your own articles and upload your own graphics and photos or outsource the job to freelancers.

This is why I’m panic if I’m hiatus for long time. I must created schedule post for it.

2. Keyword strategies include going for those people who instead of searching for ‘weight loss’ search for ‘how to lose 20 pounds fast’ and other more specific terms. Do not stuff your pages with keywords. The recommended density of keywords is between 2 and 3 percent of the text on your page.

Excessive keyword phrases are not only recognizable to search engines as ’stuffing’, they can ultimately affect the quality of the writing. This is where LSI comes in. LSI involves using phrases that are synonymous with your original keyword phrase. Learn about LSI!

3. The more relevant sites that link to your page, the better your rankings will be. For example, if you sell creative scrap booking products, try putting links about your self-designed scrap booking pages on sites that instruct people on how to scrap book. This is one way of ‘piggy backing’ on the keywords used by other sites.

Write your own articles or have a freelance writer write some for you. Submit them to article directories and allow other sites to use them providing they leave the resource box or by-line connected to the article. It is a ’scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours’ strategy and it works for both sides.

4. You can use your blog for more search engine marketing. If you update your blog daily and ping it with blog directories, you will see an increase in your blog’s search engine rankings. Link to your site from your blog. This is another means of piggy backing.

5. Purchasing clicks on search engines is another strategy used in search engine marketing. This is how sites are placed in ’sponsored sites’ at the very top of the page and along the right hand side on Google. Depending on the keywords you use for this strategy, you will have to pay a few pennies to several dollars in order to beat out your competition.

Yahoo allows you to set a daily maximum amount of money for clicks. If your site is brand new, try the lowest amount of money for a week or so to test how many clicks you get and how many sales you make from those clicks.

6. Monitor your site traffic on at least a weekly basis. Note how much of your traffic is coming from regular search engine marketing. After a couple of weeks of tracking, make small changes to optimize your site’s search engine rankings. Continue looking for ways to improve on your site.

Gather all the information you can find on each of these strategies. Search engine marketing, as with all other forms of marketing, is constantly changing. Stay up to date on everything there is to know about search engine marketing and you will see your sales increase considerably!

Google Page Rank Update again 27 Sept 2008 after Google Page Rank Update at July 2008. Maybe I’m late posting about it. But since I’m in vacation I just check about it last night. hohoho

I’m checking my site using googlepagerankchecker.com and prchecker.info

My Easy Step 2 Earn Money stuck at 2 (again), Sexy Cosplay Photo blog also stuck at 3.

But you know what? I GET PAGE RANK 2 for ALL OF MY NEW BLOG (3 blogs). Its odd. I mean I never exchange link with another people, never submit it at blog directory and suddenly they jump into 2 at the same times. Google page rank algorithm is really mysterious.

Since I’m happy, so I put my idol photos again. Suzuki Hiroki -kun as Kisaragi Shun from Here is Greenwood (koko wa Greenwood) and Himself.  ahaha I’m out of topic. But is he cute? Wahahaha

As well as link building and on-page optimization, there are some other very important SEO factors which can help your website index and rank in search engine listings. The following techniques are grouped into the category named ‘website optimization’ and should not be overlooked when preparing an SEO campaign.

Domain Age and Expiration Date

Google and other search engines include many factors within their ranking system. One of these factors is trust rank. Owning a domain that has history improves the trust rank as does registering the domain for a long period of time. Try to make it always in up time. I lost my traffic almost 30% when my domain down for a week.

Website History

Again trust rank comes into play here. If your website has been archived in the search engine results for a long period then it will help improve rankings and indexing of web pages created in comparison with a fairly new website with no history. So.. my blog is still new since its age only 1 years old.

Structured Navigation

When creating a website, it is important to provide a well structured navigation, not just for users but also to allow search engine bots to follow links and index web pages within your website. Structuring your navigation correctly can help all you webpages be indexed and should help the flow of Google’s Page Rank spread through out the website.

Valid HTML

As with structured navigation, the importance of valid HTML to search engine bots is to allow all webpages within your website to be indexed within the search engine listings. Validating your HTML will ensure that the bots do not hit any ‘brick walls’ within the code that prevent them from reading the rest of the webpage.

Btw I found an article that might suitable for you. Its about “Where does traffic come to your site”

1. Pay For It.

You can buy traffic typically using what is known as Pay Per Click advertising. The major names in this market are Google and their AdWords program and Yahoo Network Sponsored Search. There are many smaller companies around also but they all follow the same premise.

You create your account, grab a bunch of keywords and create your adverts. You can define the amount you want to spend per click or per day, what geographical areas you want your adverts to appear in and even what time they should appear.

The price you pay for each individual click depends on a variety of conditions such as how many other people are competing on that keyword. The more competition the more it costs to be higher up the ranks. The position you want to occupy. The percentage of people who click on your advert, the list goes on.

Pay Per Click advertising can be very successful but has a steep learning curve, it is essential that you do lots of research into your chosen Pay Per Click vender and in the niche you are in.

2. Borrow It.
