SEO, or "search engine optimization," is talked about A LOT on internet marketing forums and by the general public in general. Interestingly, both groups often get it all wrong.
Internet marketers often think there’s some "gray hat" method that tricks search engines into ranking them higher for a given search term or phrase.
"Joe Business Owner" gets it wrong because he simply thinks you build a website, insert your "keywords" in your website’s meta tags, and you’re done.
Nothing could be further from the truth, on either side. SEO can be broken into 2 different parts:
"On page"
"Off page"
We are going to concentrate on the
“Off Page” Factors.
There are just a few. Here they are.
Domain age. The Search Engines seem to "think" that the longer a domain has been around, the more "authoritative" or trustworthy it is. After all, if you’ve had Ford.com for 15 years, you probably are a major player in your industry.
But you cannot control this. Use it to your advantage if you can, but if your domain name is 3 months old, there isn’t a whole lot you can do about that (well, you could buy an "aged domain" but that is another story).
Traffic. Traffic begets traffic. The more traffic you get, the more the search engines take notice. As they notice you, you rise up the ranks, which Google coins as Page Rank. As you page rank increases, your traffic grows. As your traffic grows, your Page Rank increases!
"Authority." If CNN publishes a story about "homemade widgets," it will almost always beat you in the SERPs (search engine results page). The reason is because CNN has established themselves as an authority site. First, it’s trustworthy. Second, it gets a lot of traffic. Third, it’s an old domain. Fourth, it has a lot of backlinks.
Backlinks. All other things equal, a site with thousands of backlinks will rank higher in the SEs than a site with 12. Now, in the real world (which is where you’re reading this, right?), nothing is ever "all other things equal." So if you want to beat your competition, just go get more backlinks. There’s a ton of ways to do this. This is where this report comes into play. We have put together 13 Steps to SEO Genius in a way so that you will be achieving each of these goals of Off Page Factors.
As you may have guessed, you cannot really affect the domain age, traffic, or authority, unless you get “authority” and high traffic sites to link to you. You definitely can control the backlinks though. Follow these 13 steps to increase your standing in the search engines, because backlinks is where it’s at. That’s where you will get your biggest SEO bang for the buck.
