Nurture Your Wealth

Search Engine Optimization Basics #1
• It’s no secret that everything revolves around SEO. To get any amount of traffic to your site you need to have a good Page Rank(PR) and be spread across a few highly targeted keywords. Conventional sites and blogs alike need to focus on a few main points when considering SEO.
  1. What is my niche?
  2. What are the keywords in my niche?
  3. How can I effectively leverage myself with those keywords?

• 1. What is my niche?
Well, a niche is basically a specific genre or theme your site will focus around. My theme is wealth generation online while leading an active and healthy lifestyle. I can be spread across a few financial niches, such as: make money online, affiliate marketing, network marketing, home based businesses, etc. At the same time my health niches, can and will be: yoga, TriVita, nutrition, heart health, stress, sex, tai chi, etc. Choosing your niche is just a matter of what you want to talk about and how you want to present that information.
• 2. What are the keywords in my niche?
Take the title of your site and plug them into a keyword search. Next take your subject/article headings and plug them in. Try to avoid general keywords. General keywords will provide a challenge because many individuals will be saturating that keyword already. It’s important to focus on a few keywords at a time, to build a strong foundation in each of those keywords.
Some sites to help you search for keywords:

• 3. Leveraging yourself on your keywords
Once you have found 3-4, I say 3-4 because I spend between 3-10 days on 3-4 keywords, highly targeted keywords begin to build upon them. By publishing quality content focused on those keywords your page rank will improve in due time. SEO isn’t a one night thing, it takes time to build certain keywords and takes even longer to reap the rewards of having a high PR. Some free things you can do to help your SEO for certain keywords is articles, tags, squidoo, ebooks, ezines, blog farms, directories, press releases, forums, etc.
