How To Get A Number 1 Google Listing
Copyright 2009 by Willie Crawford
When it comes to search engine optimization, and getting
traffic from search engine listings, higher rankings often
deliver exponential results. That is, a number 1 listing
at Google for your keyword phrase may deliver 100 times
the traffic of a number 3 listing. To me, that makes
it very worthwhile to focus on top listings.
At the same time, even a top 10 listing can deliver an
amazing amount of free website traffic. So, aim for the
top, but don’t be disappointed if your only achieve top
10… especially for terms with millions of returns.
Here’s how I get number 1 Google listings though:
1) Begin with proper keyword research. It does no good
to rank for a term if no one is searching on it. It’s also
generally a waste of bandwidth if you attract the wrong
visitors – people who are not buyers.
I generally use The Google External Keyword Tool for my
research. I’m looking for what terms are Google AdWords
users actually paying for. Theoretically, they wouldn’t
be paying for placement on those keywords if they weren’t
profitable.
I also look at my website statistics to see what keywords
people actually used to find my site. That look will
often reveal some hidden gems. Perhaps it’s worthwhile
to add pages to your site that focus on some of those
keywords.
2) Don’t overlook long-tail keywords. In very
competitive niches you can often get number 1 positions
on long-tail keywords, and by doing this for several of
those long-tail keywords, get a surprising amount of
traffic very easily.
3) Make sure that you use your most important keywords
in your webpage titles. Also use them in your description
metatags. I generally focus on no more than two keyword
phrases per page.
4) Write short, focused articles around specific keywords
and link back to your “money site.” In the articles, focus on
the problems that your product solves. You can also do the
same thing with blog posts.
I distribute my articles to the top article directories
using Easy Push Button Traffic. It’s a HUGE timesaver.
5) Post to top web 2.0 properties (those with high page
rank) and link back to your primary site. Use your
keywords in the hyper-links, but vary them some.
I do this automatically using a piece of software called
Brute Force SEO. It does in 5 minutes what would
literally take me days to do! Software also doesn’t mind
boring, repetitive tasks.
6) Bookmark your pages, with the links again pointing
to your money site, and using your keywords in the
anchor text.
For this, again, I use Brute Force SEO.
7) Notify RSS aggregators of your new pages. This
has an amazing effect. Again, I do that automatically
using Brute Force SEO.
Write and distribute press releases to top press
release sites. Search engines like to list the latest
news, etc., and they learned long ago that the best
place to find that was press release sites.
Your press release doesn’t need to be fancy since
we’re writing it primarily for SEO purposes. Link back
to your money site from the press release.
I distribute my press releases using Easy Push Button
Traffic.
Those simple things above are how I achieve number one
Google listings, and get a flood of highly-targeted
traffic. It’s simple and effective. I use automation
to also make it fast and easy.
Give this simple system a try today, and enjoy your
number 1 Google positions, and the resulting traffic.
