Most internet business owners know basics when it comes to getting ranked well in search engines. Put keyword in title. Put keyword in your headline, text, etc...

Some get even more "slick" and they insert keyword many times in text. Then others get even more technical and begin an active linking strategy. By way, an active linking strategy can be one of best ways to get your search engine rankings high - but that's not what we're talking about today.

Today I want to talk about a little secret that MOST sites don't use - even some of most active websites that PAY for their search engine optimization. The best part is that you can use this trick in just minutes - you could do it 5 minutes after reading this!

Ok, ok...here it is...

---------------------------------------------------- Insert keyword in text of a link ----------------------------------------------------

You want to have about 2 to 5 out-going links with keyword in text of link.

1. Unzip file oscommerce-2.2ms2.zip. 2. Copy 'catalog' folder and put it in your web server directory path.
