Search engine optimization is one of the most important things any online business needs to consider if you ever want to get alot of business.

There are alot of things you can do to make sure your website is optimized for search engines.

Research of your Keywords

I believe that keyword research is the first and maybe the most important step in making your website profitable. You want to find keywords in your niche that are searched for at least 2000 times per month and that don't have alot of competition.

Place your best keyword in the title, meta tags, and the content of each page of your website, along with your other keywords.

Pinging

Pingler.com is a site I have been using for awhile to ping my website after it is up and running. Its great for helping your website get indexed by the search engines.

Social Bookmarking

Sharing your favorite websites with others is a great way to build more traffic to your business. There are no hundreds of social bookmarking sites available.

Map Listings Online

Submitting your business to online map listings is another way to boost your rankings with the search engines. Google, Yahoo, and Bing are the top three ones to use.

Blog, ezine and forum posting.

The most important point to remember when you are posting to forum, blogs, etc, is that you try to find ones that are in the same niche as your website. From there it is really easy. Sign up for the forums, etc, and post with a link to your website in your signature. This is a great way to develop backlinks to your webiste, and increase traffic.

Accounts with Twitter and Facebook

Another way to get more traffic to your website is to get accounts with both Facebook and Twitter, and then find people in the same niche as you.

Online classified ad submission

Adding your business to the online classifed advertisement listings is a great way to build more backlinks to your website, and find people who are looking for your services.

PPC Advertising

Pay per click advertising is pretty much a classy way of saying that you want to pay for leads to your business. Yahoo, Google, and Bing both offer great listings for this. You don't pay any money either unless you are getting clicks to your website, and you can also choose how much you are willing to pay for each click so you don't end up paying an arm and a leg.

Directory Submission

Submitting your website to drectories online is yet another great way to build backlinks to your website. And, another plus is that there are hundreds of online directories.

Backlinking

Backlinking is one of the most important parts of getting your website ranked higher by the search engines.
