SEO Basics for Local Business
Here's a couple topics and suggestions that you can use to promote your own website that will cost you nothing but time.
Get involved.
You get out what you put in. Don't expect to build a website and a week or even a month later think that people are going to magically find you online. Building an online presence and ranking well in popular search engines takes a lot of time and it is a process that requires continuous attention and by just spending a few hours per week you can see some very positive results.
Blog it up.
Start talking about your craft, your weekend or even posting some funny videos you think your readers might enjoy. You may be thinking how will I even get any readers to my blog and the answer comes back to the first point of getting involved. Search out some blogs that are relevant to yours and share your opinions via comments and link back to your blog. If you actually read articles and write quality comments the blog poster would most likely at least check your blog out and if they like what they see then you may have yourself a follower. Don't cut corners or just comment on 100 blogs saying things like "I enjoyed your post" because it is very obvious you just posted for the link and may bloggers will not approve your comment.
Choose Quality, not Quantity.
Referencing back to the post above, when you're promoting your site across the net try and focus on quality websites to either comment or list your site on. More often than not Google will not only not reward your site for linking to sites that may appear spammy or irrelevant but they will actually penalize you. Many people think that getting websites ranked in search engines comes down to the number of links you have pointing at your site and they couldn't be more wrong.
Age, age and more age.
Search engines love age, especially Google. By age I mean not only the age of the domain but the age of the links pointing to the site. Think about it, would a site be more relevant that is 5 months old with 100 indexed links pointing at it or a site that is 7 years old with 100 links coming in for those 7 years. It's a no brainer and age is something you must attain from continuous hard work on your site and in due time, could be months or years, your site will get rewarded most definately.
I hope you enjoyed the insight and this information will benefit you and your website in the future.
