If you have found it near impossible to get Google to notice your website, you’re not alone. 

These days it takes a lot to impress Google. 

Content is king and you will score high with Google if you frequently add article based content to your site, and especially if you add it to your blog.

So here’s a tip… 

If you have a website with no traffic then you must do this one thing to drasticly increase your SEO.  Attach a blog to your web site URL  (example – http://yoursite.com/blog) and start submitting content to it every three or four days.  Be sure to put a link to your new blog on your web site homepage so that people and Google can easily find it.

You should also submit a site map of your website and blog to Google Webmaster Tools.   Here’s a link to a Free Sitemap Generator that I like to use.

Forget keywords!!!  I know I have taught keyword logic in the past but the game has changed and Google could care less about keywords.  I still use a few tags but for the most part I don’t put much effort into it now days.

If you’re paying attention to your traffic stats these days you will see that Google only goes after random sentence strings.  If your stuffing your site with keywords you will soon find you have no traffic and your site will be banned by the Google search engines completely.

Knowledge Is Power

In order to suceed in business you need to educate yourself.  Putting some Google AdSense on your blog is not going to cut it. 

You need to learn the best ways to stand out and set yourself above your competition. 

Here are a few resources to help get you started. I love this kind of stuff.  Some guy spends hundreds of hours writing a course and gives you years of their knowledge for only a few dollars. What a deal. 

I don’t have a magic get rich course to offer you.  It doesn’t exist.  I usually learn one or two really helpful things in each course I buy so I’m glad to pay the few dollars for the information and not expect more than that.

Learn as much as you can and never stop learning if you want to make money and win at the Internet Marketing game!!!

Sometimes more traffic is good!

Try this method the next time you want to drive more traffic to your site.  I have used this idea to sucessfully drive over one hundred visitors to a single post in less than 24 hours.  This tip assumes you already have a Wordpress Self-Published Blog. If you need help setting one up then see my free step by step video lessons.  Click Here

I love the built in SEO feature that comes standard with all self-published Wordpress blogs. While most blogs accept “trackbacks”, Wordpress blogs do the trackback process automaticly for you.

If you link to another blog, such as I just did with Wordpress and the image above at iphonematters.com, their owners will see my post url in their dashboard but the best thing is that my post will also be seen by their visitors as well.

Be sure when you post to use the tag feature in order to maximize search engine response. Try to closly match the main keywords in your post. Keep it clean and simple using only 3 to 5 tags per post.

You can use these simple techniques everytime you post in order to greatly increase the amount of traffic you receive to each post.  I have also found that the quality of the sites you link to also influences the amount of traffic you will receive so be sure to keep that in mind when your linking.

Google AdSense has been around for some time now but do people really make money with it?  The answer is yes. Kind-of. You can verify this question on the forums. Some sites do real well but for most of us we’re lucky to make a buck or two a month.

Not a big profit but that’s OK with me for two reasons.

1. Google is used as a tool to draw traffic to my site. I do this by adding AdSense to my site and Google does the rest. Pretty simple. Call it light weight SEO.
2. My readers deserve options and Google does a pretty good job now of staying on niche to better serve them. In the long run it should be about your visitors needs and not yours.

I personally feel that Google has been a big asset to my Internet Business over the years and has been good for the Web Industry in general.  By handing out low ranking scores to millions of worthless websites, blogs and articles and by tirelessly filtering out the garbage, the world wide web is now a much better forum than it was 10 years ago.

It may seem cruel on Google’s part to have to take such a hard line in order to combat all the trash but believe me they are doing us all a great big favor.  Do you like searching for something and having 50 crap affiliate articles come up. Point made.

Reputation and relevant content is what will win the race these days on the search engines and especially on Google.

So how is Google helping me now?

I couldn’t get any traffic to my Software Center website and the search engines ignored me at my every turn.

When I attached the Software Center website to the Webit Geek blog as an extension website we saw hardly any visitors at first but as of the last few days a once worthless website has just received over a hundred visitors.

Whew, Webit Geek starting hitting top Google Ranking in less than 60 days on several of its niche topics. Thanks to everyone for reading, tweeting and joining my community. We can all do this together!

So what is Webit Geek anyway?

Basically Webit Geek is a model blog that you can follow and I’m showing you how I built it right in front of your own eyes on video. From the beginning Webit Geek walks you through exactly how I set everything up and exactly what tools I used to get the job done.

You of course will pick your own unique theme, content and style as you follow the video lessons.

I created Webit Geek for two reasons.

1. To help share with people how to set up the tech side of things, which many folks find kind of frustrating. learn more
2. To prove that a simple blog set up correctly and with good content is the best SEO you will ever need.

I show you how to click on my banner ads to get the tool you need, and yes,  if you do click and buy then I get paid, but the truth is, these are the merchants I use and…

The banner ads on my site are all hand picked and not just any merchant but rather the one’s I have done business with or have thoroughly checked out. I’ve spent many years collecting this knowledge for you. Google AdSense is the only exception to that.

I’m aware that a Google ad may drag a visitor or two away from your site but you will get way more visitors in the long run than you lose and you will receive a higher ranking score from Google when you let them advertise on your site.

Webit Stats

Here is what’s happened so far at Webit Geek:

• Site Launched March 30-31, 2009
• April 2009 – 245 unique visitors.
• May 2009 – 657 unique visitors.
• As of Today – June 10, 2009 – 533 unique visitors.
• That equals a 70 day grand total of 1440 total unique visitors and nearly 50,000 pages viewed.
• It’s likely we will see 2500 or more total unique visitors by the end of our first 90 days.
• Webit Geek hit page one and several page two Google rankings on a few tough to rank niche topics.

Here Are Two Examples

Ranked Page One Google for "Web it Geek" Out Of 176 Million Search Results

Ranked Page One Google for "How To Add A Favicon Video" Out Of 3 Million Search Results

It’s a good start and as I’ve said before, these are not rock star results, just a good solid foundation from which to build on from here.  You can follow the Webit Geek Lessons and achieve similar results too. Be sure to stay tuned because now that our foundation is built we will continue to learn and improve in order to web-it better, faster and smarter.

Remember, most rock star results usually come from those clever marketers who pay, lie or steal to build false fast start results and then sell a get rich quick course leaving you wondering why it never works.

I recently received a refund on a $77 dollar course just like it that spent most of the ad talking about how it wasn’t just another PPC course (lie) then basically all the course taught was that once you find the PPC keywords that are winners you simply RAMP IT UP at Google AdSense to increase your profits. NO DUH. LOL.
