5 Most Effective SEO Methods

“Summarize the story of Arachnid in 5 sentences.”My classmates groaned. They would rather write their version of the story than make a summary of the quite long story of the sad fate of Arachnid. I was probably the only one happy with that test. I ended up acing the test. That was in the fifth grade, way, way back. I forgot what I wrote but from then on, I knew that one of my strengths was making summaries, or simplifying long and complex concepts. Today, I’ll be giving my list of the five most effective things for SEO. This is based on experience (mine and a lot of other people), based on statistic (ranking, traffic, etc.) and it depends on the application of course. I’ll be giving details for some, and for some I’ll be generic because I’ve written plenty about it on my previous posts so try to scour the other articles I’ve written because you’ll find them just as useful. This is in order of effectiveness by the way, so you’ll have a very concrete idea on how to divide your time doing it.

1. Writing and submitting articles. This is something that should be done regularly (think every day). This is also something that should be of good quality. Writing quality articles will please the two parties that you’re trying to win over, the search engine bots and the human readers.
2. Building a mini-net of websites or blogs. A mini-net supports your main site by deep links. Some SEO say this is black hat but I tell you that it isn’t. It’s a very helpful and effective method. Please do check out 3 Easy Steps to Making Mini-nets.
3. Creating and submitting videos. I’m talking about quality videos not only posted to your site but in other video submission sites as well such as YouTube perhaps. If you put an interesting video there about your site or your blog or whatever you’re trying to promote, viewers will, more often than not, trace the link back to your site.
4. Submit to directories. Join or download a directory submitter online or software then submit to at least 10 sites every day.
5. Submit press releases. Press releases announce the presence of your site/blog/product. A well-written press release can not only get you attention but also links to important sites. 6 Ways to Apple-lize Your Site talks about how to make attention grabbing press releases.

All else will help… just not as much as these will. And before I forget, quoting from my very wise mentor, “Always do things naturally!”
