As a former Search Engine and Social Media insider I can tell you the core of SEO never changes.

1. You have to have a steady stream of unique content preferably related to a niche topic that boost one or more of it's related search terms. You need to know what you wish to rank for and what people are searching for when they find your competitors.

2. You need to be wired for social media. Every post needs share buttons and you media like photos and videos should also have sharing capabilities. Social media shares build natural inbound links and social influence.

3. If you are not already using Google Plus Authorship on your blog post and forum site you need to start as soon as possible. G+ Authorship is you claiming your unique content and establishing the date you posted it with Google. That way if someone copies your content Google will know it's a copy and not penalize your original post by mistake. In addition it creates a ongoing repository of your content that allows the person searching for you as an author to easily find all your great content. This is also commonly called content curating.

4. Build links naturally. While a few exchange links with other blogs in your niche are a good thing it is better to have your great content sighted as a resource in other articles by other authors. Likewise those articles that are shared on social media will generate links as stated before and re-shares will build additional clout for your site and generate social buzz. Don't use link farms or paid linking schemes even automated social bookmarking because Google can tell by the sudden and like clockwork boost your site gets that these results are artificial and they will penalize the content as search engine SPAM.

5. Curate your content or build internal links. Have you ever been on a major news site and noticed that between paragraphs or at the end of the post they will link to other articles on their site that are at least semi related to the one you are reading? These curating links help users find related content worth reading on your site which reduces your bounce rates and increases your average time on site number. It also boost relevance of older content and extends it's shelf life.

6. Don't over optimize: As much as your SEO tools and SEO friends will tell you to repeat X keywords so many times per post etc.. You have to write for humans and not just machines. You can have the perfect 2-4% on page keyword density and read like a tech manual driving away readers. If people aren't reading your content you will still not rank for it so write for humans first. Some of the biggest sites on the web have little to no optimization on their content. Look at Facebook and Twitter as examples of this.

7. Use Alt tags for images and media. Too many images are posted and never indexed losing you valuable traffic and rankings. Make sure your blog or website CMS allows you to easily add an alt tagg which is a short message summing up what the image is of, and also allows you to set a meta title and description for your images.

8. Ping Engines when new content is posted to a blog. I use Feedshark and the internal Wordpress Jetpack tools for rapid syndication and indexing using rpc ping services which are basically blog search engines that update in real time. This benefit to a good self hosted blog means getting new post listed on Google in hours instead of days or weeks.

We could discuss SEO and Social Media Marketing for days so I am going to leave off here with these tips. Search engine optimization is a ongoing topic that will require constant retraining as just when you think you know it all Google changes everything. Follow Moz and Search Engine Land, Marketing Land and other publications and make small adjustments over time. You will love the resulting traffic and targeted visitor sign ups.

I would like to answer this similar to other question on how to be noticed by different search engines.

The best way to set up SEO on your website is to give what the search engine likes. After all that is what SEO is all about.

1. Search engines love to give the searcher with quality content. So always put a good quantity of GOOD QUALITY content.

2. Use Key words that describes SFI - Search engines get their first hint from the keywords or phrase that is typed by the searcher in the search bar.

3. Work on Back Links - Search engines love to give website where lots of other websites are citing it. Search engines also crawl every link found in the website and it might arrive in your website through other website who has your link. - There are ways to do it, like asking other website admin to exchange links. You can also make comments on forums and other sites where comments are permitted and include your link in your comments. You can also join websites where people are exchanging links.

4. Promote your sites on traffic exchanges and PTC sites - Search engines love to give the searcher a websites where so many visitors are visiting per day.

5. Start as early as possible - The age of your site also have factor in the search engine.

6. Other factors that only google, bing and other search engine operator know.

I would like to repeat that search engine give a lot of weights on ORIGINAL quality content. So concentrate on posting quality content. Other factors are always changing but ORIGINAL QUALITY content has never changed in there criteria, after all that is the core of their business. Can you imagine the effect if their search engine are giving junks information to the searchers?

There are a few steps to setting up your website for better SEO:

Do you have access to the code for the website? If so, then you can add your best key words to the site Title and site Description.

Be sure to use your best key words in the opening paragraph and in the closing paragraph.

Submit the URL of your website to the Google search engine at ADDURL. Follow any instructions you are given during that process.

Hopefully you have a Blog as part of the website. Add to your blog once or twice a week. Keep your blog posts "on topic" and do not wander off. Be sure to use your key words in the lead paragraph and closing paragraph of most of the blog posts.

Promote the URL of your website in anything else you write about the SFI business.

Write a press release at free-press-release.com and list your website URL at the end of the press release.

I have not been bothered by the news media after submitting the free-press-release, so don't worry about that.

Look for information about good key words in the websites which are part of the Google world of information.

You should have your site properly optimized for your niche. This includes consistent advertising, backlinks from social media, relevant backlinks, and relevant outgoing links. There are plenty of SEO resources available however being current is a must. If you are not sure about SEO, then have it professionally done.

As for advertising SFI and/or Tripleclicks the contents should be related and appropriately placed on the sides, top, or bottom and assure that it does not interfere with the viewing of your content. The viewers most likely did not visit the site for the advertising, so the trick is to arouse their interest.

If you are aware of the age, gender, and social status of the majority of your viewers you could be more liberal with the range of products/services advertising as you may be providing information/advertising of interest to them. You should ask yourself would some of the these people be interested in this? Will it only take up space? Will it annoy the viewers and cause them to leave the site. Consider the answers and advertise appropriately.



Here are some niche related advertising examples.

Financial, SFI Affiliate Gateways and Tripleclicks Gold and Silver products.

Game related sites, Tripleclicks game related products. The Tripleclicks banner creator can be found at http://www.tripleclicks.com/myaccount/banner.php

Travel related sites, Tripleclicks travel products, and products related to the destination.

Best Regards

Hello, Nenad

Congratulations for having your own website and working to put it at the top ranking search results. Focusing on SEO is an excellent approach that will certainly pay off handsomely.

Search engine optimization (SEO) aims at improving a web site's free search result rankings.
The goal is to increase web site traffic so that you get more PSA sign-ups, more Tripleclicks sales, more ECAs enrolments and more exposure of your own store.

I. Overview

Your target is the “non-pay-per-click” searches conducted by opportunity seekers

If you were to do any search on this topic itself, you would find complex analysis, descriptive methods and may sound rather esoteric.

This is because intense SEO can involve complex site building and structuring.

However, there are a few simple steps one can take oneself to increase their search engine ranking.

Some of the most important aspects are: your backlinks, both inward and outward links, your social media strategy, the popular sites with which you connect to gain greater exposure.

The following ten steps cover a comprehensive SEO strategy

II. SEO Strategy
1. Your Starting Point is to Determine Your Current Ranking
First, there are two benchmark tools with which you need to be familiar: Alexa and Goole Toolbar.
The former allows you to keep an eye on your website or page ranking. The latter is a tool that is very important to help you to track where your visitors are coming from and the search terms they're using to find your site

2. Most Popular Keywords and Balancing their Use
It is important to be fully aware of the impact of appropriate keywords in every part of your site: especially in the pages and content titles, URLs, as well as image names and description. The most appropriate keywords are those that are most likely to be used by searchers of the products and services you are offering.
To do this, you need to ask yourself the question: “how would someone looking for information on this topic search for it?”
This also will help you avoid wording that may not be appropriate and or may turn off potential readers.
3. Use your previous writings as a reference
This is often mentioned as “Linking back to oneself”

You should make it standard to link back to your archives frequently when creating new content
You also make the anchor text search-engine-friendly: "The more relevant words point to a page, the more likely that page is to appear in search results when users run a query with those terms."
As with all other SEO approaches, be sure your links are appropriate, and be careful not to cross the line into excessive linking -- you don't want your visitors to get annoyed.

4. Ease of Website Navigation

Creating a user friendly sitemap
Adding a site map -- a page listing and linking to all the other major pages on your site -- makes it easier for spiders to search your site.
"The fewer clicks necessary to get to a page on your website, the better.

5. Search-Friendly URLs
Make your URLs more search-engine-friendly by naming them with clear keywords.

Your urls should contain words that give the reader a clear idea of the content they can expect.
You should take out any guessing from what the reader sees. For example, urls with words such as second income, residual income, multiple streams of income will tell the reader what your site is about. They know what to expect.

6. Refresh Your Web Content Frequently

Every business with a Web site should make Search Engine Optimization -- trying to get your site as high up as possible on Google and Bing search-results pages -- a part of their growth strategy.
At its most basic, "SEO" means finding ways to increase your site's appearance in web visitors' search results. This generally means more traffic to your site.
7. Refresh Your Web Content Frequently
You can use press releases and news flashes to provide original new content. This is what will be indexed by the search engines
8. Clear and Unambiguous and Avoid Clutter
Your text should flow naturally, easy to read and understand.
It is also important that you avoid flash effects, illustrations and pictures. Your pictures should be clearly described.
All your writings should be easily understandable
9. Smart Social Media Exposure
You should be distributing links to fresh content on your site across appropriate social networking platforms.
Whether displayed on your company's account, or recommended, re-tweeted, and re-distributed by someone else, this strategy exponentially muliplies the number of places where visitors will view your links.

10. Link to other popular sites

An easy way to direct more traffic to your site is by developing relationships with other sites.
you personally ask the webmasters of well-respected sites if they'll include a link to your site on theirs. Be sure to return the favor -- then everyone wins!
Make certain that your partner has a good web-reputation, of course
However, be very careful about this. You do not want to be associated or linked that sites that have a negative press and that may bring down in their fall.

Search Engine Optimization, as I mentioned in another answer, tends to get used as a buzzword by a lot of companies--and there are some honest ones out there, but there are FAR more unscrupulous ones--when most of what you need are relevant keywords used frequently and links from sites with higher-rated sites (As a suggestion, take some time to learn about Alexa and Google PageRank to learn more about what this means... YouTube has lots of good videos that will teach you about these.), from your social networking sites like Facebook, Google+, and Reddit to your news and article sites like AP, CNN, and Wired, to your aggregators, blogs, and opinion sites like Daily Kos, WorldNetDaily, and so on. Basically, if "high attention" sites are displaying your links or talking about your business, you will rank higher.

To that end, here are a few simple things that can be done to help improve your visibility, which in turn can boost your ability to be seen online:

1) Post to relevant groups in every related social network--the more directions that point back to you, the better. If you can get *other* people to do this on your behalf, even better, because it will be even more like "word of mouth."

2) Send out press releases relevant to your business. If you can get seen as a human interest story or a local interest story, you can get links from the news and opinion sites, which can be priceless.

3) Get someone to blog about you or your products and services. Never underestimate word of mouth and the powers of other people linking to you.

Similarly, on the "OH MY GAWD DON'T DO THIS!!!" side of things: You know all those supposed "attention-getters" that people put on their websites that just annoy you? Don't use them. They may not directly affect your ranking, but they'll result in people never returning... and those return visits *do* count for something.

As I have mentioned in other answers, the *complete* SEO landscape is always changing--search engines have to keep changing the rules as quickly as the companies that *do* the optimization keep figuring out how to exploit those rules to their advantage. Beyond being truthful and relevant with your keywords, file names, and other elements, there's really little else that will always have a lasting effect.

My first thought here is to ask “why don’t you leave such a technical matter to professionals?” Search Engine Optimization, SEO is a highly technical matter which Webmasters can best handle. If however as an affiliate in SFI you want to delve into SEO yourself, make sure you use words and phrases on your site which Search Engines are looking for based on your site tags. The higher the SEO, the more visible your site becomes on the web in the “eyes” of Search Engines. Of course you know that the more “visible” your site is, the higher the number of “hits” to your site. The higher the number of hits, the higher the probability of conversions, sales or even PSAs recruitment.

You may also do the following to increase your SEO.

1. Have a regularly-updated and useful blog on your site.
2. Use words and phrases in your blog which are relevant to your site tags.
3. Participate in popular forums with very good “comments” linked to your blog.
4. Post articles in highly-ranked and very popular Articles Directories and linked to your blog.
5. Submit your site URL to popular Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and many others for “indexing.”
6. Have a business page for your site in social media sites like facebook and link it to Twitter, LinkedIn and g+.

These are a few things I can remember now on how to optimize your site but please talk to Webmasters who are experts in the field as I am no expert in the field myself.

I hope this answers your question. Good luck in your SEO.

The main component in Search Engine Optimization is making sure you use proper keywords that relate to what your readers are looking for. Link these keywords to your article/blog/website and your readers will be directly linked to you.

If you have a blog ensure that the content is honest and up to date. The more interesting your articles the more people will return and may even refer others. You want your site to be popular. Try to be creative in your writing and add a bit of humour as you go along. Try different styles so that you can appeal to various audiences.

Add images if you want to reach the younger generation. Sometimes you could add a short game or puzzle. Read articles written by others to get the idea. While you don’t want to copy what is said, you can pose a different slant on the same topic.

As you continue, you will realize that the more experienced you will become and many will turn to you for advice and hints. I hope you try these points and I look forward to seeing you at the top.
