When most business marketers decide to use search engine optimization (SEO) to boost their website traffic through organic searches, they think in terms of fulfilling their own online marketing needs.

What will “I” get out of this? How can “I” boost my web traffic? What can “I” do to increase online sales?

Let’s face it, you are in business to make money, but as crazy as it sounds, this is the wrong approach to driving web traffic. The answer to all of the questions above is, “your users”. You need to gear your SEO campaign to your users. Anything else is futile. The object of the game is to attract users; you need to appeal to their likes and interests. So, how you do it? You just need to change your SEO attitude so that you serve your audience’s needs rather than your own.

Here are five easy steps to changing your SEO attitude to increase your website traffic:

Step 1: Know your audience. As elementary as this sounds, you need to put yourself in their shoes. How can your product or service solve their problems? What’s in it for them? They really don’t care about how wonderful your company, product, or service is…they care about what it can do for them. Don’t think about yourself; think about your audience.

Step 2: Research the relevant keywords. Determine what keyword terms your users would search on to find your product or service. Stay away from industry-terms that may be beyond the scope of their knowledge. What is common knowledge to you, may not be to your audience; especially in the early stages of their product search.

Step 3: Dump the corporate-speak. Talk to your audience using conversational language. Don’t sound too corporate or stuffy. Speak as if you were face to face trying to sell them. Use the words, “you” or “yours”. Talk to them, not above them.

Step 4: Give them something to come back for. A great way to find favor with search engines, especially Google, is to give your audience loads of helpful information. Post articles for them to read on relevant subjects. Building an article repository of sorts will keep them coming back. They will want to check back to see what you’ve got in store for them. The more useful information the site posts, the more Google and other search engines take notice. It looks as though the site is a resource for the users

[...] The majority of backlinks that most people build never get indexed, many are nofollow, but they are …other search engines crawlers only manage to find a small percentage of them. One technique I used in my early days online was to ping the links or turn them into RSS feeds and then submit them. These are all great ways of getting links indexed although, I don't know about you, but I can think of better ways of spending my time. Learn how I have been getting 92% of my links indexed Backlinks need to be indexed and managed in order to count towards your rankings. Having a backlink indexed means that it's gone into the Google directory of links, which is a BIG decision-making factor in determining where your site will show up when someone punches in the keyword you're after. But the truth is, no matter how many backlinks we buy/build/get done for us, only a very small percentage of them will be counted by Google. Why? Because these backlinks are floating in limbo and highly depend on the "spiders" to "crawl" the site that your backlink is on, and that is highly dependent on the traffic the site gets and finding out how to get to these is also another challenge we face. In terms of percentage, around 15% of all your backlinks will be indexed and that's what your site will be ranked on. Only 15% of what you invest will count. PLUS, if you try and get ALL of those backlinks indexed at once, you're highly prone to lose out on more than just a couple of spots in the Google standings. High PR Authority Sites RSS Feeds for your backlinks. RSS Feeds from High PR Sites give your backlinks the necessary crawled pages Google's spiders trust the most, and create the right type of backlinks for your backlinks, effectively passing down the PR power onto your Main Site. The above has ALL the elements that your SEO strategy should follow. But it takes time, manpower and money to get the second half of the equation done. LinkClaw has changed it all. A new piece of software has just been released that solves all this. It will automatically find all the links pointing to your site and then keep building backlinks to those link untill they are found by Google. Quite simply LinkClaw will deliver higher rankings, skyrocket backlink indexing, boost the juice of your links and ensure your backlinks are valid by continually monitoring them and let the Autopilot work.
