search engine optimizationThanks to the massive amount of traffic pushed through search engines every day, competitive and forward thinking webmasters are doing all they can to push their websites to the top of the ranks.

SEO (search engine optimization) has been a major part of internet marketing for the better part of a decade, but only recently has it truly come into its own as a true online industry.

SEOs (search engine optimizers) have started offering their professional services, both as planners and technical employees, and some webmasters are seeing great results.

But that raises a question: why can’t you just do it yourself?

building backlinksOne of the hardest parts of gaining publicity for your blog is ranking naturally for certain search keywords. If you’ve only started your blog recently, you’re likely competing alongside blogs that have been around for years, with hundreds of entries already indexed and ranking high in the search engines.

It can be daunting at first — a thousand-entry disadvantage right from the start — but with the right blogging strategy it’s possible to outrank your older competitors with just a fraction as many posts and links.

How?

It’s all about quality, and the tipping point.

increase trafficLeaving comments on high profile and popular blogs is no secret to getting more traffic and backlinks to your own blog.

However there is one issue…

Very often, especially on those very popular blogs, by the time you get to comment you could be the 30th or 100th person to comment.

You still get the backlink (assuming they ‘do follow’) but you won’t get any traffic. Who reads all 50 comments?

Not many.

Myself, I tend to read the first 5 or 6 and that’s it.

ezinearticles logoBack in July this year, Squidoo started cracking down on what you could and couldn’t add to one of their lenses.

Far too many people were adding lens after lens which just talked about affiliate products and gave no advice, whatsoever.

So the inevitable crackdown came. At the time, Squidoo said:

1.    No Spam. This one’s not new!

2.    No more X-rated or Porn lenses

3.    No Junk Topics from our “SquidDon’t” List

4.    A new limit on overly promotional lenses

Back in July, there was a huge amount of positive to come from these changes.

organic free trafficSo, you’ve got your domain name, you’ve got your hosting and you’ve built your blog.

Now you want some visitors, don’t you?

And you are thinking, I’ve got to write hundreds of articles and I must start commenting on other blogs, and what about all those backlinks. Back-linking is all the rage and you don’t want to miss out, do you?

You just don’t know where to start and you start to sign up for all these free reports on ‘traffic building’ and they all recommend different things.

You start to feel overwhelmed.

Am I right?
