5 SEO tips to get you started in 2009...
Here are 5 SEO tips just to get you started in 2009:
SEO TIP 1: Get for "customer focused" for 2009
For 2009 you need to focus on creating content that serves your
customers needs FIRST. Far too often, our focus is so narrowly
limited to just our own objectives for a Web page.
One powerful tip is to first research the specific needs of your
customer (within a niche) and then deliver up high value, based on
your research and give the searcher EXACTLY whatever it is that
THEY want, first.
Think about it - try it out and see what happens when you meet the
client's interest first, before introducing your own objective.
Does it work? You bet it does. Think behavioral research instead
of just "keyword research."
SEO TIP 2: Vast importance to working accurately with synonyms
Remember the importance of using semantically related supporting
words, (true synonyms,) descriptive verbs in your body content for
the future. As the industry continues to involve things like
the "personalization of search" and in 2009 these influences will
begin to have greater and greater impact, your going to see even
great rewards to visibility, for those who focus on writing and
communication excellence.
SEO TIP 3: Watch for new types of useful data to make available
One type of content to consider adding is "statistical data."
What is useful or of high interest to your target audience?
If the stats aren't your own, always indicate where you're
getting them. It's important to quote your source. But it may
be more than just numerical stats that attract new searchers.
Remember to do your research first to identify the best windows
of opportunity.
SEO TIP 4: How well can you interpret your customer's dialog to you
How important are your customers words to you?
Not just the words, but the exact dialog. You see sometimes, people
have a habit of speaking to you using certain terms and while we
understand their meaning - we may sometimes tend to substitute other
words of our own in recalling what was said.
There are great benefits to focus on communicating well and hearing
the dialog your customer uses as cues to doing behaviorally related
"keyword forensics." Synonyms can mean the same thing but may well
reveal somewhat different types of results.
SEO TIP 5: How to fine-tune all you know about SEO with greater
accuracy than ever before possible.
