Getting out of a job and becoming your own boss as an internet marketer is a great decision. Now that you have set up your website and raring to go, do you know how to optimize your pages so that you get to the top of Google ranking in the given keyword or term? When you have mastered the skill of getting to the top of a Google page, all you need to do next is to sit back on your pool chair and check your Clickbank account statistics every hour for that surge in sales. What actually does Google do? Well, Google makes sure that your pages match the search query of the person sitting in front of the computer. It makes sure your pages appear in the top Google ranking in the given keyword or search term. To make your goal easier to reach, the following are simple techniques you can use to get to the top of a Google page: Choosing the right keywords You are unlikely to make money when the market is saturated just as you are unlikely to enjoy your holiday if the beach is too crowded with holiday makers. Find a secluded beach where you don't have to compete for beach chairs. Likewise, find a market niche where there is little competition and where you can hone your copywriting skills and take advantage of prime keywords to climb to the top of Google ranking. If you choose your niche correctly, or if you choose the right secluded beach, you will be drinking pina colada all day on your beach chair without anyone blocking your sun. Build an email list All the internet marketing gurus say that the money is in the list. Here we should really apply what self-motivation guru Anthony Robbins has been telling us all along - and that is "to model or copy the belief systems of someone who is already successful". If the internet marketing gurus tell us to start an email list, then just do it. Create a landing page where your readers can leave behind their contact details so that you can harvest their email addresses and get in touch with them. This also creates backlinks to your website which is a very important factor in becoming popular with Google. Inserting keywords after finishing your article I need not tell you that most internet marketers hate writing for SEO optimization because article writing is boring. When you write and insert your keywords into the article at the same time, you most probably will end up having a weird article that will not entice readers to read pass the second paragraph. Writing is an art and persuading your reader subtly to click on your affiliate link will require good writing skills. But writing is not that difficult. The trick is to write an article with a normal flow of words. Once you have finished your article, insert the keywords in the right places and tweak the whole article to make sure it becomes a pleasant read. Choose the right products Be mindful of your reputation when you select a product because reputation is hard to repair in cyberspace. It is a good idea to purchase the product first and use it yourself to see if it really works. It is also ethical that you try the product before you recommend it to others. In this way too you will have more things to write about since you have personally used it. For any lofty goal to work, you will need to give it some time. Have a reasonable target of say a couple of months to reach the top of Google ranking but work on tweaking your pages and content everyday to reach this goal. The trick is consistency. If you are consistent in adding pages and using the right keywords, building backlinks with article marketing, eventually you will reach to the top of Google ranking for your keyword and search term.
