Here Is My Method For Ranking a Site In The Search Engines

One of the most important parts of SEO is not in understanding the search engines but in understanding your customers.

The first step in SEO is identifying a targeted keyword phrase.

A targeted keyword phrase meet’s certain criteria designed to reduce the amount of risk associated with trying to rank in the search engines.

Once we find the targeted keyword phrase we are in most cases able to rank in the search engines in a matter of days.

I try to find phrases that have

1. 2 to 3 words.

2. Can easily be used in a sentence.

3. Will be searched for by someone looking for a product or service.

4. Has a daily search count of above 8

Once I identify the phrase I want to rank for I

1. create a page of content designed around that keyword phrase. This gives me a little leverage when trying to rank it.

2. set the page up to convert whatever traffic I get to the site.

Once this is done I start building keyword phrases for that page. These will be used later for my link building anchor text.

Let’s say the targeted keyword phrase was “website design”.

I’d put a list together like “buy website designs”, “discount on website designs”, “best website designs”, “cheap website design”, “purchase a website design” and the list would go on and on.

I would then build a network of web 2.0 properties which interlinks to itself and creates a maze. The goal is to have a central hub that links out to the page I am trying to rank. I would then bookmark all the sites in my hub.

Web design is more than just art; you have to have the artistic side along with the ability to guide your site visitor in the direction you want them to go.

The use of colors, fonts, and other things used to guide the site visitor can me learned. However, the artistic side is a gift given by God.

We often look at art, photos, shapes and much more to get ideas on the artistic side of the site.

There are those artists that look to others to be inspired and then there are those that inspire others.

Adam Hughes is one of those that inspire others.

In 1987, Hughes penciled two short stories and the first issue of the character Death Hawk, created by Mark Ellis. In 1988 Hughes’ work appeared in Comico’s Maze Agency with co-creator/writer Mike W. Barr, and stayed on the book for one year. When Maze Agency was canceled by Comico, DC Comics offered him a job on Justice League America. He did both covers and internal renditions on that series for two years, before switching to providing covers only.
