How and Why to Avoid the SEO Mania
The Why But what is the reality of reaching a number 1 position on any of the big three search engines - Google, Yahoo, and MSN - and staying there? Somewhere between a remote possibility to impossible. Why? Because there are well over 16 million websites battling for the number 1 position on "any" given day. Talk about too much competition for one, unique goal. You'd have more luck betting on the lottery, a game of blackjack, or a horse race. It's true, my opinion runs against the tide of SEO advocates - but let your own experience speak for itself. Are you number one on any of the big three? Do you understand the Google sandbox? Most people don't. It is absolutely a waste of your online time to get caught up in this mania when there are sane alternatives available. "So Gary, what's the solution"? I am glad you asked. Let's take a look at some "realistic" and doable activities that will bring you increased web traffic. The How You can... 1) Develop or buy a valuable, high demand product to sell (Ex: Microsoft Windows software) 2) Write great, useful news content for your readers (CNN.com and USA Today.com) 3) Create a web tool with great content that people need (Yahoo.com) 4) Devise a unique business model for an old market concept (auctions on ebay.com) 5) Get a cutting edge product or service that has an absolute or near monopoly and has mass-market appeal. 6) Write content-rich articles in an area in which you are the expert and submit them to related websites. 7) Write a weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly newsletter related to your interests. 8) Ask other webmasters to exchange their website addresses with yours. 9) Submit a free ebook that you have written to other websites with your website address and contact information included in the ebook. 10) Provide a free service to your niche market and submit ads to other websites. 11) Sell hard-to-find products at an attractive price. 12) Advertise on other websites, like Dollarsforever.com These dozen ideas are only a handful of traffic attracting solutions for your website.
