Everyone wants to rank highly in the search engine results pages. By using just these three methods you could help boost your website rankings and increase your sales.
1) Keyword research and optimization
It is of extreme importance to pick the right keywords that you want to rank highly in the search engines. Keyword research can be time consuming but it’s worth every ounce of work you put into it. If you put in the right keyword research before you try to get rankings for one of your websites then most of your work is already done. Most people only go for one or two word keyword phrases which are extremely competitive. Try to use three to four word (called longtail) keyword phrases instead. You’ll find that they are much more targeted and less competitive. The goal being to amass high rankings for many longtail keywords related to what you’re trying to sell.
Next you can optimize pages and content in your website by placing your keyword phrases in the meta tags (website title, description, keywords), and by creating pages that contain the keyword phrase in the URL.
2) Blog
Create a blog on your website and update the content regularly. Search engines love websites that are always adding content. They keep coming back to find out what kind of new information you’re putting out there. Be sure to use your keyword phrases in the titles and text of your blog posts and articles.
3) Social bookmark
Social bookmarking is an awesome weapon for boosting your website ranking. Sign up for some of the bigger social bookmarking sites, and bookmark each one of your blog posts and website pages. Since these websites have a high page rank in Google, by bookmarking your website it’s like telling Google that your website is really important. Other people at the social bookmarking sites will be able to see your bookmarks and bookmark your website themselves. Each time building a link back to your website. Link building is a massive strategy for getting a boost to your website rankings.
