How To Get Noticed By Google
A Terri-fic Traffic Tip
Not many networkers understand page ranking by Google and even fewer realize that getting traffic first from natural traffic is the most powerful way to get Google attention now.
Once upon a time the way to get Google to notice you was to know all about technical search engine optimization (SEO) That's still important but the very best way to grow your business online is to wave Hi! to Google with your subscribers.
Google Can See You
The reason I have a nice Google page rank of 2 on this front page of my blog is not because of my technical expertise at search engine optimization. I try but I'm definitely not an expert.
Hi Google! Here I Am!
A page ranking of 2 is pretty good. A Google page rank of 4 is considered an authority site. When you reach 4, get ready for advertisers to contact you and pay you for letting them post ads on your high ranking site. Cool, huh!
Internet Traffic
When I look at my traffic statistics, I can tell that a lot of visits are not coming from Google searches. Most of them are coming from direct hits or from social media sites. The direct hits are probably from my list.
About onceper week, I will write a post that seems good enough to me to send out via email to my list. People who have either opted in to one of my affiliate programs or have bought ebooks from me. It's not a huge percentage of my list that actually clicks on over here, but about 20% do. (THANKS, You Guys!!)
So email marketing and socializing in forums will send traffic to your website and all those people will wave at Google for you, getting you noticed not just by Google but by other search engines as well.
Social Media Optimization
So how does visiting on forums get Google's attention? I'm not really sure but I do know that I've seen my words and my name jump out at me sometimes. When I search for certain keywords, there I am - my comments show up now and then. A word to the wise,stay professional at all times in forums.
Also if you are active in forums, people will check your profile and then click on your site there. Several backlinks to your website or blog from hight ranking sites like Facebook or BetterNetworker can really get Google's attention, especially lately.
Things are changing with SEO. I get a few visitors wholink frommy profile pages fromTwitter, Facebook andBetterNetworker.I can see that in my traffic stats here at Squarespace. It's what many people are calling SEO 2.0 - orsocial media optimization.
So here's my Terrific Traffic Tip for today - write something and then get out there and socialize about it. Post the link on Twitter,bookmark it at Digg, and put it in your status blurb at BetterNetworker and Facebook. Then get ready to say Hi to Google!
