What SEO strategy is best for you?

In this article you will be given a brief overview on different ways to optimize a website. The object is to get you interested in the fascinating world of SEO.

First I want to tell you how important keyword research is. This step of research is critical to your SEO results no matter you are doing organic search engine optimization or PPC.

Keyword research allows you to take the pulse of internet users and to discover which phrases they are looking for. This is what you call supply and demand analysis and it’s done in every sector I can possible think of. Failure here and your prospects won’t look good.

Doing a good keyword research is vital for the long term success of your website and you can’t take it seriously enough.

Now there are two ways to make use of your keywords, you can either do organic SEO or PPC.

With organic SEO you optimize your articles for the given keyword you want your article to rank for. When doing so the keyword should be placed a few times at the top of the page and throughout the article. Keywords should also be used in the meta and title tags since search engine spiders go through these tags looking for the key phrases.

You shouldn’t insert keywords using the same pattern all the time though. The search engines change their algorithm on a regular basis so it’s important not to focus too much on where and how many times you insert your keywords etc.

Since the engines change their algorithm in order to get better SERPS, webmasters have been pushed by them to make better and more relevant pages and this is something that is very good for the users.

With PPC you pay for keywords that you want to rank for and PPC is very simple actually. Many search engines make money by selling advertising space to business owners and many companies have a better conversion rate using PPC than any other marketing method.

But paid campaigns are of course not without their headaches either. You still have to come up with the most effective keywords to bid on and this can be very time consuming. Your submissions also have to be renewed and PPC can cost quite some money.

It is hard to say if you should focus on organic SEO or PPC, but personally I wouldn’t build a website without organic SEO. This will give me free traffic for times to come.

However, PPC can be a great compliment to organic SEO.
