A question I get dozens of times a week. Hey Nick - How do I optimize my website? How do these other sites get on page 1 of Google? Many of them my competitors. Pay Per Click Adwords is killing me! - yes I know. Paying for traffic you already got and feel like you never earned a profit from it. It's frustrating!
The truth is - when a website is optimized SEO for Google someone either did it for them or someone showed THEM how to SEO. Now I certainly make part of my living optimizing website for others who want to but knowing how to yourself is better and it is easier to recommend a low cost program where you can learn yourself. It really pays off in the long run.
I HIGHLY recommend it:
Learn How To Optimize Your Website HERE. All the best!

SEO Newsletter - Writing Articles
This is a copy of our most recent Search Engine Optimization and Marketing Newsletter. You can join our mailing list at here.
This blog allows for feedback and questions on this topic or others.
SUBJECT: Writing Optimized Articles For Search Engines and Getting Links and Traffic to Your site!
Hello again friends!
Wow - I love this subject and it is such a great tool. I have been writing articles for myself and clients for several years and they REALLY can work and go a long long way for you. If you write up a good article - the right way, your article will be reproduced and copied on other sites (you want that!), it can show on Google search results for years - we REALLY want THAT! and you can place links to your website within an author bio area that can also have your phone number! oh and this is all FREE. NEVER pay to place an article. Well - I hate saying "NEVER" but don't.
Article sites don't charge and there is a reason for that. They want YOUR content. More content gives websites more relevance and that can increase their advertising by having more targeted visitors.
Example: Someone writes an article about the best flat screen TV's. That article site may have Google ads around your article or links to Amazon selling a 50 inch TV. That could be YOUR article that got the traffic. As long as your link back to you is intact - let every website use it!
Ok - so writing articles has no downside? No. There is no downside.
The only sort of downside is getting less exposure than others if the article is not written well for Google or the topic wasn't interesting enough to get circulated. Write a good article and you'll see it go a long way for you. I have some articles that are 6 years old and still pop on Google results! FREE PROMOTION. I have also gotten calls and emails from other businesses and got B2B relationships out of them.
Ok - so what to write about?
First off. Be in the mood! The best articles you will write will be ones that you felt passion for or creative. We all have our creative moments and non creative days. An insurance broker could write about ways to defer income into life insurance or a computer programmer could write about a new programming language, a bakery owner posting a muffin recipe. Whatever! If it's interesting, has readers and is written well - people WILL see it and you WILL get website traffic from it over time and if it's REALLY good, it will rank on Google by itself.
SOME POINTS:
Write about a topic you really know
Have keywords in front of you that you want to get in
Make it interesting to read
Do not commercialize yourself in the body of the article
Let the topic attract the readers and leave your bio at the bottom to get your promotion and link line
Have it the right length (500-700 words)
Make Paragraph Breaks
Write a nice but brief author bio with a mention and link to your website
Put it on the best article sites that get TRAFFIC and are ranked high on Google (ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com are my favorites and I have found other little sites will copy from them so let those sites do your work)
Don't waste time putting them on sites with no traffic or content. Also the more popular article sites will give the link back to you more Relevance in Google's eyes. How do you know a popular article site? Just type in a topic within their site and see what comes up. "How to grow Great Tomatoes" or anything. If 1 gardening article shows up - forget it. Start with Ezine articles. I have no affiliation! but they are a VERY popular site with Google and small sites grab their content a lot! Remember we want THAT! Steal away - it's just your name, company and website in more places!
Going to article sites and searching topics will also give you great ideas. "Why did THIS article come up first?" Was it the the title, the keywords, a great topic. Steal concepts all you want! Remember that the article is the topic - not you.
I will be writing more on this topic in future weeks as there is a lot to learn, but that should hopefully give you all a good start . When in the mood.....write!
FEEDBACK
I will be posting my past SEO newsletters on a dedicated blog for US and YOU to comment or ask questions - even to each other. You can also request future topics. It's brand new since I am dedicating it just for THIS group of newsletter friends. Blog copies of our topics will normally be up after 24 hours or so.

SEO World Newsletter - Google Indexing New Pages
Nick's SEO World Newsletter
FREE Search Engine Optimization and Marketing FOR YOU
Nick Hunter
Veteran SEO and Internet Marketing Consultant
Hello to my friends, colleagues, website visitors, partners, clients and Internet independents who signed up for my newsletter! This is Nick Hunter from Nick's SEO World
For those who I have not spoken to, met or communicated with before - allow me to introduce myself. I am a 15 year multiple website owner and search engine marketing consultant specializing in Search Engine Optimization, Google, adwords, blogs, articles and most areas of online promotion. I provide this completely free and straightforward newsletter specifically geared to enhance your knowledge of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Internet marketing to get more visitors to your website and earn you more business and much more exposure. To beat your competitors. Trust me when I say - you WILL learn something with every Email Letter I send. You do not even need to own a website to be helped. Just promoting yourself, a friend or the company you work for. Maybe you want to start your own new business one day!
Getting exposure for yourself or your company can easily happen on the Internet if you know how to do it. Writing an article (on the right article site) and having it appear on Google's free listing for instance for YEARS! YES - I said "years"....or marketing other people's products and much more. This email SEO Newsletter will not have any filler information or take up space with photos or multiple sections. THIS will be 100% Straight talk that will cover MANY topics. Whatever I feel passionate about or is an important concern to most - I will write about. I will also listen to YOU on what future topics to hit. We will talk articles, choosing keywords for your website or how to research them, ebay, affiliate reselling and a lot more! and you do not have to be a computer programmer but if you want to add your webmaster or web designer - have them sign up too. One of the biggest mistakes I see is designers building sites that are completely UN-SEO Friendly! What a shame! But most can be fixed.
Other Experts
I will have occasional affiliate partner products on here from the best Internet marketers in the world. They will be products or services that I have either used or seen firsthand. (Blogging, affiliating, social marketing and more) Visit and learn from them if you choose. Just know - most of them are VERY impressive and developed by people who are even smarter than me lol (on some things). Seriously, there are some incredible online marketers out there and I have been lucky enough to have learned from them or worked with them. I am looking to bring their knowledge to you as well.
This will be a VERY special and informative periodical. Today's letter is more of a notification and introduction to the new people. Look for your full edition next week. Please do not reply to this email.
"Hey Nick - is that it on this one?" "How about a good tip and lesson right now?"
Ok - you got it! This was more of an intro and Future SEO Newsletter topics will all be about the topic at hand and a link to a blog where we can follow up. But here's one:
BRIEF TOPIC TODAY (but important!)
How to get a page you created or edited for your website read and ranked by Google fast!
When you are adding a new page to your website or editing content - there is a way to force Google to read it that the same day. There are many popular websites out there that Google updates every day - if not every hour sometimes. Sites like Facebook, Craig's List, Backpage. Your site is naturally not as popular, so Google may not read it for a week or more. The easiest way to beat this is to create a free ad on backpage.com or craig's list - just to pick 2. These are the most popular free ad sites. Write a little ad about your website in the services section and put a link to the page you just edited or added. I prefer Backpage because your ad will normally stay active longer - 30 days. When Google updates the site you placed your ad on - the search engine will follow all the links and update them - including yours now! Link to the new page - not just your home page. Although your whole site will be re-read again also, which is great!
Make sure you title the page right also! (but that's for another day)! This can work for any new content including an article, resume or anything else you want and even if the content is on another website. Write the ad more than 4 sentences with keywords and Google may even index your ad on THEIR search results too!
================================================================
I will expand on this more soon. More tutorials to come....Much more! and more lengthy.
Feel free to pass along the word to people who could find this helpful and sign up. Actually - they should do it soon. I may have to charge for this one day! :) If you are getting this email - then you are on the list already. I hope you choose to stay and allow me to help bring you great ideas, techniques, profit and success online in 2010 and beyond! Save my past issues in an email folder. You never know when you need to refer to one!
Featured Affiliate Product:
Blogging To The Bank Course - I learned a lot regarding Blogging Promotion from here if that is your interest. Close the email pop up and you can just listen and read.
Thank You
Talk to you next time!
