Another idea to keep search engines guessing (and to increase your sites profitability) is to add links to affiliate programs that enhance site. For example, if your site is all about golfing look for affiliate programs that complement this theme. You can visit companies like Commission Junction or Share-A-Sale and choose from hundreds of companies that are looking for eager affiliates to join their ranks. Not only will this enhance your site, but many companies provide free content written by professionals in their field.

You should also consider setting up an autoresponder on generated site, with some way to capture visitor’s names and e-mail addresses. By doing this, you again increase sites chances of becoming profitable. By collecting names and e-mail addresses you have a way to directly market related products and services to visitor. It could be an e-book, or mini-course or someone else’s products that pay a commission on sales made.

Finally you may want to consider providing a reciprocal linking solution. What better way to “legitimize” your website than have other sites linking back to you?

Setting this entire system up can be a time consuming task, but you just have to do it once. After that all you need to do is take basic building blocks and duplicate it. You could be generating complete themed sites, rich in content and packed with valuable offerings for visitors in hours instead of days, or weeks.

Now that you have blueprint, what are you waiting for?

3. Learn from best

Take time to browse and read sites that get lots of visitors and have same topic as yours. Take note of any recurring phrases in these sites’ text. These phrases are most likely keywords. Incorporate them in your own site’s content. Don’t saturate your site with keywords, though. You don’t want to sound redundant to your site visitor. A 3% density level would be enough.

In searching for right keywords, use Overture’s services. It may take quite some time, as it is more of a trial-and-error method, but results are conclusive, and a pattern can easily be observed.

4. Submit…and re-submit

You will never get a certain job if you don’t send in your application for it. The same thing applies to SEO. If you want your site to be recognized by search engines, then go out of your way to register your site with them. After a couple of weeks, search for your site by putting in keywords you used in your content. If your site is still not coming up in search results, do not give up, and just re-register and resubmit your site. It’s possible that your initial registration was discarded without being processed. This usually happens because a lot of submissions are being done everyday.

5. Constantly update your site

This can’t be stressed enough: search engine spiders love sites which constantly change their content. You can’t build your site and expect it to last forever without any updates. There will come a time when those search engine spiders would stop fetching your site for query requests. Here’s a tip: integrate a blog program in your site. Blogs have a user-friendly interface that allows easy updates.
