7 Tips For Getting To The Top of The Search Engines

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Search Engine Roundtable recently published a transcript of a presentation given by Shawn Moore, where he lists seven (7) proven ways to get a page #1 listing.

Mr Moore’s 7 tips are:

  1. Have good copy, images, videos, content, etc to support your keyword research. In other words, ensure your landing pages not only reflect what people are searching on when using certain keywords, but also effectively persuade visitors to take the most desired action (MDA).
  2. Ensure the navigation and architecture of your website are easy for the search engines to navigate.
  3. Write a blog, and maybe include images and videos too.
  4. Aim to acquire quality, keyword-rich inbound links.
  5. If using a database, make sure it’s easy for the search engines to navigate.
  6. Send out press releases online.
  7. Have a domain name strategy. Aim for keyword-rich domains or, if possible, forward such domains to your primary website. And register your domain name for the long term.
