Achieving Top Rankings With the Search Engines
It's "promote, promote, promote" all the way. Cut up
your activities into small, easy to handle chunks.
- First comes content (no point if you haven't any, is
there? :-), optimizing your pages for the search
engines, checking your HTML code, etc.
- Next, submit to the engines. Sign up with link
populartiy programs if your site qualifies. Find a
selection here:

- Upgrade your site to an info hub by offering prime
outgoing links - such as a search engine portal. This
will help boost your site's ranking with the search
engines. Contrary to popular opinion, linkage counts
both ways, incoming and outgoing.

The signup page is here:

- Participate in discussion forums.
- Promote on Usenet via your sig file if you can
answer (or ask) questions in areas your are either
proficient or at least interested in.
- Check your rankings regularly.
- Also, your linkage.
- Generate lots of fresh, useful content. Keep your
blatant marketing activities on economy drive (pardon
the pun), be subtle about your promotion. Far too
little subtleness/subtlety around in these blaring,
excitement driven times! People will notice, will
favor: less dumb hysteria, more openness, honesty.
Admit to mistakes if you make them (as you're bound
to), but don't cringe, don't give the impression
of reacting self-assertive or self-depreciating for
the heck of it. (Everybody's tired of everybody's ego
but their own ...)
- Remember you are free to come and go as you
please
on the net.
- Submit your new content.
- Possibly resubmit your older content, depending on
ranking and various other factors. (Introduce at least
some minor changes before you do.)
- Read, read, read - learn the trade from scratch.
- Test out stuff - your mileage may vary immensely
from the gurus' - every web site is different, or,
at least, should be.
- Link to lots of useful sites not directly competing
with yours.
- Request reciprocal links.
- Create yet more, fresh content.
- Submit it.
- Contribute to mailing lists.
- If you can, issue a newsletter of your own. Never
mind if you only have yourself, your wife and your
stepmother for subscribers - put it on site and submit
it to the engines. (They simply love that sort of
all-text stuff currently!)
- Check your logs daily.
- Learn how to recognize search engine spiders.
- Don't go for cloaking unless you really know what
you're doing. It's risky, but it *can* be highly
effective, if you play it right.
- Check ot all search engine generated hits to
determine: a) your ranking, b) what people are
actually searching for - you may be in for a surprise
or two on that score.
- Look at what your competitors are doing. Don't just
copy them - BETTER them!
- Create more domains and interlink them all.
