Overrepparttar last 3 years we have seen a growth inrepparttar 128335 Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Search Engine model. This was initially fashioned by Overture, but has quickly been followed by a whole host of Pay Per Clicks.

The concept is extremely simple. You bid on words that surfers who would be interested in your website's content would use to search on. For example, if your website was about gardening...you may bid onrepparttar 128336 words "garden care" or "lawn care" etc. When someone searches onrepparttar 128337 words "garden care",repparttar 128338 search results are returned inrepparttar 128339 order ofrepparttar 128340 bids placed; so a website with a 60 cents bid would rank higher than one for 55 cents and so on.

Obviously, you will want to make sensible bids that your business can sustain. The best way to know what is affordable is to look at your website stats of visitors against your sales.

The (Not So) Shocking Truth About Getting A High Search Engine Ranking

Written by Elizabeth Piotrowski


I have seen my site hit #3 at Google, and some of my fellow entrepreneurs are wondering how I did it. Well, it's no big secret, and it won't cost you anything but your time. Here's what I did:

1. I searched online for information aboutrepparttar title and description tags to get a better idea of what they should say. http://www.selfpromotion.com is a great site for this kind of information. It's all about search engine positioning, and it's free to sign up. However, your account only stays active for 4 weeks, after whichrepparttar 128334 webmaster asks that you donate money to his site to keep your account active.

2. I used Overture's free keyword tool at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/. Just enter keywords that are relevant to your site, and Overture will generaterepparttar 128335 most popular search terms that people are using. I pickedrepparttar 128336 most popular terms (making sure they were relevant), and made a list of keywords for each page of my site in Notepad.

2. Next, I visited http://www.scrubtheweb.com/abs/meta-check.html. This handy tool will check your meta tags and tell you if there are too many characters in your title, keyword and description. The above site is just one of many meta tag analyzers available onrepparttar 128337 net, so beware - every analyzer says something different when it comes to how many characters your meta tags should have. My advice? Pick one and stick with it, at least for a while. Otherwise, you will just get frustrated.
