| I guess you'll
be wanting some new customers for that web site of yours....
Well [insert exaggerated statistic] % of internet users
find what they are looking for by searching in either Google, Yahoo,
Bing or some other search engine or directory.
'Search Engine Marketing' is a term that covers the
strategies you can use to put your web site in front of the people who
are searching for your product or service.
A whole new marketing industry called 'Search Engine
Optimisation' has grown up over the last 10 years or so based on getting your
web site on the first page of search engine results. Now some of the
services you will find are no doubt legit and value for money, but the
pool is also FULL of sharks, incompetents, and the deluded.
Over the years, I have seen some fantastic results in
the businesses that I have worked with just by getting some pretty basic
things right. The best thing is that once you have got it
right, apart from a bit of maintenance, there are no ongoing costs. I
have web sites that are still pulling traffic from search engine optimisation work that I did in 1999........Free customer leads for 10
years, sounds ok doesn't it?
So where do you start?
If you have an Australian business, then there are
3 things that I recommend that you do:
- Make sure your web site design is search engine
friendly
- Install Google Analytics on every page of your
web site
- Set up a webmaster account with Google, Yahoo,
Bing
- Install Google, Yahoo, Bing tracking code on your
web pages
- Build yourself a sitemap
- Undertake a keyword analysis and prepare a
content development plan
- Engage an outsourcer to write (draft) content
based on your identified keywords
- Write good meta tags for every page of your web
site
- Start a blog and build the feed into your web
site
- Start a free newsletter on your web site, linking
to your blog, to help retain the new audience once they start
finding you
- Submit your sitemap to Google, Yahoo, Bing
- List your site in major 'human edited'
directories
- List your site in quality Australian based
directories
- List Your site in quality International
directories
- List your site in any specific country or
industry directories
Ok so that's not 3 things
is it.....
The good news is that I can do these things for you,
or if you are really keen on doing it all yourself, I can also show
you how to do it. But be warned I will probably try to give you a
copy of a Michael Gerber book though....
AND as an extra special BONUS if you

'I have been Search Engine Optimised' T
Shirt, Mug or Bumper sticker
