I am giving free training and mentoring to folks who are struggling with getting traffic to their sites, here’s why.

Although excited at the time I have excrutiating recollections of developing and putting up my first web presence back in 2000. Given the amount of experienced and competent people connected to the net you might dream that someone would have founded a reputable web site where newbies could visit to be availed of all of the basics skills to create a successful web presence. Developing your first web presence can look hard if you are inexperienced.

Areas like comprehending the influence of back links and keywords, how they manipulate Google page rankings and page authority, and the correlation between these and visitor volumes are complicated and continuously poorly taught by the majority of seo consultants on the internet. I have discovered so many people on and offline who want to do this and simply don’t have the know how that I decided to take some action.

After many years of working on the web, uncovering, learning and practising ways of doing things to develop successful web sites by driving substantial volumes of customers. I suddenly discovered I wanted to teach.

As a result pain and success I am fortunate enough to be in a position to do this and devote a substantial amount of quality time to it. Every one who is just beginning or already building a presence on the web wants a quick win, I’m no different and therefore whenever I have discovered excellent material and tools that work I am going to route my students at these rather than try and reinvent the wheel.

Everything I have evaluated that has delivered good or excellent results will be incorporated in my educational material and where there are gaps I have filled them in. On my journey I have created some techniques, tools and methods of my own that I consistently use which I will be including in the training.

Chances are, there are more than enough good keywords related to those search terms to generate several that can be used on your new blog, and which will attract visitors to it.

The trick, of course, will be in searching for and then utilizing enough of the right words that haven’t been milked completely dry by all those other competitors out there, and then getting a blog up that uses those words to gain visitors (“site traffic”). A great thing is that search engines like Google and Yahoo have all the online tools and help you’ll need to learn how to do this, and it’s all free.

There is no point in creating a website unless you have thought about how you are going to get visitors. Regardless of whether you are creating web pages for business, as a hobby or to inform there will inevitable come a time when you are going to want get people to come to your web pages. You want the majority of visitors to come from search engines. Certainly the lowest cost and best targeted traffic will always be brought to you by the search engines.

The more relevant and precise the search results the better the user experience and therefore the greater the chance the user will user will return. The more frequently users return to the search engine the more opportunity and income the search engines create.

So how do you go about doing this?. There are two paths to achieving this and the good news is you can if you have the money do both. You can create and publish great content and persuade other web site owners to link to it or you can advertise on the search engines using PPC (Pay Per Click).

As far as all of the search engines are concerned nothing exists on the internet without a keyword or a key phrase. Searches always begin with the entry of a keyword or phrase into the ‘search box’. The search engine refers to a gigantic index to retrieve a list of the web pages it deems to be the most relevant to the keywords the user entered. All search engines determine what will be returned in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) by using two measures authority and relevance.

Relevance is determined by the occurrence of keywords in the web page content and authority is largely derived from back links from other web pages. Search engines calculate the position of a web page in a returned list of results by measuring the authority and number of backlinks to each page.

Back links are the most important factor in optimising your pages for the search engines.

Back links not only determine your position in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) but are a major source of visitor traffic. People searching for and reading relevant content will click on the back links that contain text related to their quest and subsequently be directed to your web pages. ‘Anchor text’ is the correct term to describe the text appearing as a link and contributes to the value given to the link by the search engines. Some back links have more value than others.
