The 10 Commandments of Google Search Engine Optimization

When it comes to Search, Google IS God, so it’s good to keep God happy especially with your search engine optimization.

1. Thou shalt be relevant. Google is the most relevant content finder on the web. Focus on your audience’s passion and align your message accordingly.

2. Thou shalt listen to the people. For Google search engine optimization, Google looks at inbound links for the sites it indexes, organically. It ranks advertisers on CPC and click rate, and quality score. Basically, it’s letting search activity determine what’s popular. So, build those back links and do those surveys. Give ‘em what they want.



3. Thou shalt get to know me, first.
What’s going on in the mind of your visitor? Shopping? Give them information. Buying? Give them exactly what they’re looking for. Read their minds.

4. Thou shalt be simple. KISS. Keep it simple stupid. Get to the point in your ads and deliver what you promise. Don’t forget the call-to-action (buy now). Edit, edit, edit.



5. Thou shalt not come to the party empty handed.
Go to your customer… blogs, social networks, Google. Bring a gift: info, discounts, free software, etc.

6 Thou shalt not interrupt. Calling people during their dinner hour and interrupting them with stuff they don’t want is a “push” channel. Search is a pull. People raise their hand – you give them the information. See the difference?

7. Thou shalt not be an advertiser. Act like valuable content. I know a marketer that gives away his most valuable stuff. People pay big bucks for the left-overs.



8. Thou shalt test everything.
Google rewards you for “trying”. Constantly split test ads and landing pages. Don’t forget your prayers.



9. Thou shalt track.
Everything. It’s a sin to not know what is and isn’t working in online marketing and you’ll be severely punished.



10. Thou shalt not worship false data.
Why go with your gut when you can just check with the numbers? See #9.

Amen and all that other good stuff with Google search engine optimization. See you in heaven.

Re: Can someone explain Search engine optimization to me? Re: Can someone explain Search engine optimization to me? - Search Engine Optimization (SEO) could be compared to a big popularity contest: A High School Computer Geek and a High School Football Captain who are trying to promote a party. The computer geek tells everyone in school & even hands out 100's of flyers about his party Friday night...what happens? his friends end up showing up and a few new people...even the new people leave right away because it is not what they are looking for. The High School Football Captain ends up just telling a few good buddies, and within hours the entire school not only knows about it, but everyone wants to come, and everyone does come & stay. One defenition of "optimize is "To make as perfect or effective as possibe." How effective are your article marketing campaigns? Could you be distributing content (that is what search engines index) more effectively? In a perfect world, who would you want promoting your website, web pages, and web content? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is determining this perfect & effective way to do this. Jeff

Re: How to Promote Your Business Online Re: How to Promote Your Business Online - Apart from using Search Engine Optimization or SEO for promoting websites, I also find Pay per Clicks (PPC) to be a very good way to do. Why? For me it doesn't open only one oppurtunity for you, in fact it opens 2! You can generate your awaited traffic even w/o saying stop, ready and go and gain a maximized profit too.
