This is important:

Most webmasters start SEO and think along these lines:

“I am going to do anything I can to get a ton of backlinks. They say it helps to improve rankings.

I want to make a ton of money from my site so I try SEO.”

There’s nothing bad with that…

However try thinking in a different way as well. The way that Google and other search engines want you to think!

How’s that?

Well, think of your visitors, think of those people that are typing in your keyword in the search engine.

If you are selling dog food for example. I type in dog food and your site is on first page. Will I as a visitor receive what I was looking for? Does your site provide enough of what I need? Those are the questions you have to answer on your website.

Keeping with the same example, you should provide things that someone looking for dog food wants.

(So apart from getting backlinks, etc etc – think of your customers and visitors)

Do you have dog food products? Do you make it easy and safe for your visitors to buy? If they are looking to learn how to feed their dog – do you have articles to show them how? Maybe they want to discuss other things about their dog with other dog owners, so do you have a forum?

Dog owners love a lot their dogs, they wish to keep updated of other things not just of dog food (even though in the example visitor searched for the keyword dog food). So did you try to research what they look for and give them just that on your website?

So as you can see with the example above – what I did is trying to figure out the visitor’s mind. What he wants and how will I give him just that?

Search engines will love you for that.

They obviously want to PLEASE people who make the searches – they want to satisfy them.

Keep this in mind: Search engine optimization is not just about making money from the TRAFFIC. It’s about providing the visitors who are searching with what THEY REALLY WANT!

Your site will be a blast if you do that and you will make a lot more money – almost guarantee that.

On another note, I love my what I think is a cute cup:

I like Coffee sometimes and I drink from that cup – my personal cup It sits on my desk at home. I am 23 years old, in case you were going to email me and ask me.

Talk later,
