A lot of people have asked me in the past to provide them with some foolproof methods to get ranked high on search engines such as Google. A lot of people tell you that all you have to do is have a great title tag, and you are all set. I don’t dispute the fact that your title tag is your best bet in getting ranked higher on Google. But in most competitive markets, you are going to have to work on your link building and social media campaigns to increase your incoming links and climb your way to the top of the search engines. But if you are in an emerging market, there are plenty of simple ways that you can get your pages to the top of the engines. And best of all, all you have to do is conduct proper keyword research to find keywords you can get ranked for. You won’t have to beg others to link to you, and you won’t even have to give something away out of your pocket. Now you may want to try other tactics to maximize your search engine traffic, but the below methods are the easiest ways to get started with the process:
- EzineArticles: everybody has heard of EzineArticles. It’s the best article directory out there, and you’d be surprised how easily you can get ranked for some highly competitive terms by writing a few articles for EzineArticles. Your title does matter a lot here, so don’t ignore it.
- Hubpages: hub pages are great to get ranked for those long-tail keywords. Your hub-page can show up in the first couple of pages of Google easily as long as you choose the right keywords.
- Clipmarks: a wonderful service that gets ranked high on the SERPs as well. Many have used Clipmarks to increase their presence on search engines, and you can too. Just have to be a bit creative.
- YouTube: having your own YouTube channel is the best way to dominate the SERPs. The videos are the future and many search engines are integrating videos into search results. The way to go is to optimize your video page for your top keyword terms. Don’t forget proper tagging and titles for each video.
- Twitter: having a Twitter username with your core keyword can pay big time on search engines. Unfortunately, there are a lot of spammers out there who use the same approach but don’t provide any value to the community. So please don’t use this approach to spam Twitter.
- Facebook Page: creating and optimizing your page for the search engines can pay big time in the long run. It’s much easier getting indexed and ranked with the help of Facebook than without it.
There you have it. 6 specific ways that you can enhance your presence on the SERPs. There are plenty of other tactics that one should use, but these are a good start, and you don’t have to be a SEO genius to get them done.
