Being able to write an interesting article is one thing, but when combining it with good writing skills and also optimizing an article can have a better effect. Some people may think just by writing an article and distributing it you will get some benefit from the search engines, this is true but why not take that effect to the highest potential? In this article I will discuss some beginner tips on writing an article by optimizing your keywords for a greater effect in article submission.
Before you begin writing your article you want to decide which keyword or two keywords you are looking to promote? After that has been decided you can choose the topic of your article based on that keyword. Some people make the common mistake of writing an article then using anchor text in the resource box that have no relation what so ever about the content of the article. Even if you only mention that keyword a few times as long as the subject of your article relates to those keywords that will make a big difference.
When writing your article you do not want to put too much effort in trying to input your keyword into the article as this can often lead to over optimization and also the article itself will not sound original. Over optimizing is often done by people because they want to push to promote a keyword, but this is not necessary anything over 2 % of the article content for any keyword is too much. Another misconception people have is they have to use the exact keyword phrase within the article as they will use in their anchor text for the resource box. You do not really have to do this as long as you have part of the keyword it will still help you. For example if you are trying to promote the keyword “American Car Sales” but only use car sales in one sentence this is fine. Although if possible you can use that keyword if it will fit into the article wording.
Another focal point is the article title which can be very important in most cases. When you make your article title do not try to make a very basic title, for example only use your keyword “American Car Sales” if you make an article with a title like this I highly doubt anyone will read it. Instead make something more creative like “Will American Car Sales ever make a Comeback”? This leaves the reader an idea what the article will be about and also has your keyword in the title. Another mistake people make about the title is using a title that has no reflection on what the article is about, if your article is about Dog Breeds but use a title about dog food obviously this is the wrong choice.
In review just use common sense when writing articles and take the time to write them keeping in mind which areas are important to use your keywords and having content that relates to them.

How to get your Press Release in Google News
There are a few ways you can get your press release to show up in Google news. By having your press release in Google news not only gives your site higher authority but also makes it look more professional, along with many other benefits. In this article ill discuss a few tips on how you can get your press release to show up in Google news and additional Benefits.
For those not familiar with press release promotion, it is a perfect way to headline a new product launch or any important news you have about your business or website. So if you have either of these obviously you want the word to get out for more traffic and sales. By having a well written and optimized press release will not be efficient by itself. You also need to make sure you are submitting the press release to authority PR websites.
By creating a well written press release it is important that the press release is at least 750 words and you try to cover one single subject as covering multiple subjects’ kind of defeats the whole purpose of a press release. Before you write your Press release you have to decide which keyword or search term you want your press release to get listed in Google for. Once you have decided the keyword it is best to use that keyword somewhere in the press release title, and as some PR websites allow hyperlinks also use that keyword as a hyperlink. Lastly you should try to have a keyword density of the word you choose to be around 2% and no more than 3%.
Moving on to which sites you should submit your press release to, there are quite a few authority press release sites and by submitting to these if your press release is a well written and optimized normally Google news will automatically cache your press release from that authority site and you will then see your press release in Google news. Another important thing to keep in mind is to submit your press release in the morning as it is more likely to be read in the morning. Newdesignworld.com is one press release that I have noticed gets listed in Google news quite often.
There are quite a few benefits of being listed in Google news, first your search engine rankings for the keyword that you have chosen if normally improved, even if it is temporary this will bring in a boost of traffic. Along with that depending on the amount of sites you submit your press release to you get additional backlinks. Normally if you have an article listed in Google news depending on the keyword you are using you can expect a good boost in traffic for about a week, that’s why a press release is a great way to promote your website or new product.

Improving Directory Submission Approval Tips
Using directory submissions for link building and promotion have been around for quite a long time and it still one of the techniques that are still used. Although this link building technique isn’t as effective as it used to be with Google devaluing many directories in the past has made it hard for directory owners earn, despite this fact doing directory submissions is still worth it. In this article ill discuss a few tips on how to improve your chances of getting your submission approved.
When doing directory submissions it’s a good idea to get a list of variations that you want to use for your title, and description. The more variations you have the better, when making a title it is important not to use short titles like “Dog Food”. Try to come up with a descriptive but short title as these are more likely to be approved. When using title’s for your submission’s its best not to use title’s that do not relate to your homepage since most likely you will be submitting your homepage and not inner pages.
For your description that you want to use ensure that the description is at least 2 sentences long but 3 sentences is the optimal length you want to use. In your description try to use 3rd person when describing the website as if someone else was submitting your website. Do not mention the URL within the description as many times if the editor see’s a .com within the description it is more likely to be rejected. Also when writing your descriptions simply describe your website, do not make it sound like a sales pitch this is one mistake that I see often and will most likely get rejected.
Another part of directory submissions are confirming the submission via your email, I’ve found that about 30-35% of directories will send out an confirmation but only a small amount of those actually require you to confirm by clicking a link in the email. When submitting it also will help a small amount by using an email address that is the same domain as the URL you are submitting, there are not a large amount of directories that use this guideline but by doing this you can improve your approval.
By keeping these things in mind you will have more success using directory submissions and also improve the amount of listings you will get. Keep in mind to use variations of your information to have a better effect on your SEO. Lastly keep in mind that your title’s are the biggest factor in your SEO efforts so ensure you have researched your keywords that you want to use for directory submissions.

List of Social Marketing Techniques and Benefits
There are quite a few ways now to promote your website using social marketing, and it’s becoming increasingly popular using these methods. If you decide not to go with these new methods to promote your own website you are missing out on a lot of traffic and promotion. In this article you will find various social marketing techniques and some of their benefits.
Most people when they think of social marketing or social websites, the first thing to come to mind is most likely the “giant” twitter or facebook. These sites are great to start a foundation for your social profile for your business or website. It is important to separate your personal profile from your company profile. On twitter you can announce new products or updates that you have from your website and also gives your customers easier access to find updates about your business.
The next technique is Social Bookmarking which you have probably heard I have discussed often lately if you have read my previous articles. The reason I do so is because it’s very effective for promoting the inner pages of your site and those keywords. Another reason is there are many high ranked social sites to promote these bookmarks on which receive a lot of traffic. One of the top examples of a social bookmarking site is Digg and they have a top 100 alexa rank so you can get tons of exposure on here.
Another technique that is often overlooked is the squidoo lens; if you make a lens about a product or your business as a whole it opens another door for your promotion. If you have a new website or product most likely you do not have an existing customer base, Squidoo can give you that extra boost to get the word out. Squidoo is an authority site just by having a link to your site will give your own site a boost in rankings. If you make a lens on squidoo you can also join groups there to even further promote your website.
The last marketing technique I will talk about is blog commenting, by doing blog comments you can get more backlinks. If you have the right tools you can even get higher PR backlinks if you are able to find do follow blog posts. Keep in mind when doing blog comments to write meaningful comments that relate to the blog post, afterwards you can input 1 link using html or in the form “website” box. It is important not to put many links in one comment, because you devalue the page and it is considered spamming. Depending on your niche you may be able to find blog posts that relate to your own website and this is a greater benefit to blog commenting, even if the blog post is PR 0.
These are just a few of the social marketing techniques and their benefits. There are many other ways to promote your website using social marketing if you put your mind to it or simply use Google.

Blog Commenting as a form of Link Building
A lot of people when they think about doing blog comments they most likely think of a negative way of doing link building. But when doing blog commenting the correct way it is actually a good way to get some extra backlinks.
The reason why people think it is spamming is because a lot of people misuse this technique as a quick way of getting a massive amount of backlinks, with all of the software and bot’s to leave comments on blog posts. You will often see comments like “Thanks for the post I found it useful information” obviously this is spam if you see a link at the end of it. This is similar to people doing forum posts just to get the link from their signature posted.
To do blog commenting the correct way it is pretty simple, take time to read the blog post and when you make a comment make it relevant to what the post is about, do not make the mistake of just reading the title of the blog post to save time and making a comment just from that. Because most likely your comment may be a bit off topic and you risk getting your comment deleted or not approved. Also another important part is making sure that the blog post is do follow, you will find that majority of the blog posts are no follow. There are a few ways to find out if a blog post Is do follow, you can either check the page source and look for the do follow tag on other comments, or there are various IE add-ons or Firefox add-ons that highlight no follow links.
There are a few other important aspects of blog commenting to maximize the effect, obviously a higher pagerank blog post to leave a comment on will give you a larger benefit, but also if you are able to find a blog post that relates to the page you are promoting is even better. If you leave a blog comment on a pet blog post and your site is about games most likely the effect will be minimal.
Now you may ask where can I find these blog’s to leave comments on. This is the hard part, you could do some searching in Google but it can take a lot of time. The ideal way to find do follow blog posts is getting one of the various blog finding software programs. I won’t promote any specific programs but if you do a search in Google for “Blog Commenting software” you will get an idea. But I would stay away from those automatic blog commenting program’s as they have spamming methods. You want to look for program’s that simply search for do follow blogs and you can search by keywords.
If you take the time and leave meaningful blog comments on do follow blogs you can find yourself with some extra backlinks.

Most Important Part of SEO – Keyword Selection
In most cases before you even launch a new website the most important part would be to decide which keywords you are going to focus on. There are many factors to consider when doing so, how much of a budget do you have? Are you an independent or have a large company? Are the keywords related to your site highly competitive but you have a low budget? You must ask yourself these questions before deciding which keywords to focus on.
I see one common mistake a lot of people make when promoting their websites, one example I will make Is they will do link building using the keyword “Car Repair” this keyword alone which is a small keyword has such a broad range, just think of how many websites are based on car repair whether it’s a site in Canada, United states or anywhere else in the world. For your benefit it is best to use something more long tail such as “Car Repair in Brisbane CA” this way you narrow down the keyword to a specific location. Otherwise any work you do with the wrong keyword or an extremely competitive keyword is pretty much going to waste.
If you have a small budget and do not have $1000’s of dollars to improve a highly competitive keyword, it’s best to do research for other keywords that are similar. One easy way to look up information on a keyword is to use the “Google ad words Keyword Tool” or type the keyword in Google and look what type of sites return in the first page. If you see many authority sites on the first page it’s probably best to look at an alternative. If you are lucky and look up a keyword in Google and you see blogs, deep link urls, or even articles in the first page results that means most likely not one site is dominating that keyword and you can easily rank first page for that keyword.
Try to remember to use different keywords for each part of your site; one common mistake people make is they use the same Meta title for each deep link of their page. By doing this you are not utilizing the full capacity of your keyword usage and are missing out on ranking on other keywords in Google.
The bottom line here is its best to do a few days of keyword research before committing keywords in your link building efforts, and try to stay away short keywords that are highly competitive. You can save yourself a lot of time and money to find a low competitive keyword that has even a decent amount of search volume compared to a high competitive keyword that will be very hard to rank even on the first page.

A Great alternative way to get traffic and relevant backlinks
Most people already know the most common ways of building backlinks and traffic, these could be email marketing, directory submissions, reciprocal links, article submissions and many other ways are pretty common. Ill discuss a few additional techniques that most people do not think of and can be an effective way to get more traffic.
A lot of people already use this technique the only downside is it will take up valuable time if you are a busy person; I’m talking about Forum posting. Forum Posting can be quite good for traffic and even backlinks if the forum has do-follow. But you cannot post on any forum, before you start posting on forums you must first do some research.
The most important part of forum posting is finding a forum that is relevant to your website and has a good amount of activity on the forum. The easiest way to do this is by using Google, for example if you have a sports website you can simply search in Google for “Sports Forums” and even narrow it down to your specific type of sports website. Normally on the main page of the forum you can see how much activity the forum has at the bottom of the forum. It’s best to keep away low activity forums because your posts will most likely not be seen by many people.
After you find a few forums that you think are good to post on obviously you have to register but do not forget to fill out all of your profile details, and most forums will have an area where you can add a signature to your profile. This is what will be seen every time you make a post and you can also add html for links to your site with keywords. But also keep in mind some forums have a minimum post count before you can add a signature.
Keep in mind when posting on forums you are not simply posting just to advertise your own signature link, if you think this way you will find yourself making irrelevant posts and may find yourself banned from the forum. Posting on these forums can be done even once a day when you have free time you can browse around the forums and look for a topic that interests you or you have a great deal of knowledge about. Not only by making relevant posts do you keep yourself from getting banned but over time people are more likely to remember you and will most likely be interested to check out the link in your signature.
Not only can the traffic be good from the forums but if the forum you are posting on has do follow as many of them do you can find yourself getting backlinks. Most likely the backlinks will have a low amount of an effect but over time having many relevant backlinks to your site should help you out a bit with the keywords you are using in your signature.
This is a technique that is overlooked by many people and if you are not doing this you are missing out on some relevant traffic.
