Organic SEO - The New Messiah For Webmasters

Organic SEO seems to be the catch phrase of the moment.

However, unlike many other linking tactics and strategies,

this one actually works.

What is Organic SEO or Organic Search Engine Optimization?

Explained simply, it's where all your linking structures

originates from the content up - in other words, you let

all your content created for your sites, blogs and articles

do your link building for you.

Actually, the answer is as simple as this article. You're

probably experiencing one of the best examples of Organic SEO

right this moment by reading this article. Article marketing

is pure Organic SEO. You let your article and your author's

resource box build one-way links from related niche sites

back to your site.

But the keyword is content. You must create high quality

original content for this system to really develop and flourish.

The better the content, the faster your rankings and traffic

will grow. By producing valuable content in articles, sites

and blogs, you are building real traffic and real links that

the search engines salivate over. And they will reward your

site with higher rankings and even more traffic.

Try Article Writing...

Frankly, I was rather surprised at the effectiveness of article

writing. It seems like such a benevolent little creature.

You write about your own experiences on the subject of your

site or blog, keeping your articles short, around 500 to

800 words - although some of my best performing articles have

been longer, about 900 to 1200 words.

I have only written about 60 articles. But the benefits have

been enormous; spreading my content all over the web and building

one-way links back to my sites and blogs. Some of these articles like

the ones in Addme.com or Webpronews.com get archived and will

provide good deep PR links for years to come.

There are a few techniques I use to extend the effectiveness of

my articles. First, I always start with a keyword or keyword

phrase that I want to target with a particular article. I do

major, major, major research on my article's keywords - using

sites like nichebot.com, overture.com, and a few others.

I check how much competition there is for the keywords.

Combining a new keyword with ones you already have positioned

high for in the search engines works well. For example, I have

optimized my site for the keyword 'Free', it appears throughout

my site. When I introduce a new keyword phrase I sometimes

combine it with Free. Pick the right keyword combination and

you will gain an edge over your competition more quickly.

Always put your keyword phrase into the title of your article.

I also make it a habit of not picking the top keywords in a

niche, I go for middle ranked keywords - I am better assured

that I will rank on the first page SERPs for these lower

keywords. Why waste valuable time shooting for the stars

when you can easily land on the moon!

I submit my articles mainly to a short list of online article

directories ( ezinearticles.com, buzzle.com, isnare.com,

goarticles.com, ideamarketers.com, and articlealley.com )

these work the best for me. These sites rank well in the

search engines and even though the surfer may go to another

site to read your article first, it then delivers a much more

warmed up and targeted visitor to your own site.

Other webmasters from your niche will pick up your high quality

articles and place them on their sites. Organically growing

more related one-way links to your site. Google looks very

favorably on these one-way links and will reward your site

for having them.

Article marketing is one Organic SEO tactic every website

should be using. Instead of paying high prices for seo

services, why not write or hire someone to create keyword

rich articles for your site. The benefits will surprise you.

Try Blogging...

Blogs are another form of Organic SEO. It also builds links

and traffic to your site the natural way - by providing

valuable content.

For those marketers and webmasters who practice Organic SEO,

the free blogging systems are a godsend. A skilled marketer

can legitimately use these online blogging programs to boost

their site's rankings, traffic and income. What more can

any online marketer or webmaster ask for?

I use numerous blogs to compliment my sites. I base these

blogs on the major keywords of my sites. For example, one

section on my main Internet Marketing site examines laptop

computers, I created a blog with Bloglines.com covering the

same topic. Although all the content is different from

what you will find on my main site.

I also use Blogger.com because it's owned by Google and

is very simple to use. I find posting my weekly ezine on

Blogger adds another way I can get my message out to my

subscribers. Not to mention, all the linking and pinging a

blog brings into play.

I also use the open source software and system, WordPress

for another of my blogs on marketing. This is a php database

supported program that was a lot less easier to set up on my

site than I first expected. It's one of the best blogging

systems I have worked with and is highly favored by the search

engines. If you're not using it - try it.

In addition, I have just started using LiveJournal for another

blog and that system is also very easy to use. I usually post

to my blogs once or twice a week, just short helpful tips or

links that a visitor or search engine would be interested in.

Keep in mind, all these free blogging sites are PR9 or PR10,

has to count for something.

Spam has become a problem with many of these blogging systems,

I now usually block all comments or moderate them. All this spam

just goes to show how effective getting links in related blogs

can booster your rankings for competitive keywords.

I have found blogging to be a very effective tool for getting

your keywords indexed and ranked very quickly. I also like to

use blogs for those golden double-header listings in the SERPs,

preferably at the number 1 and 2 spots! That's where you get two

listings from your site for a certain keyword on the first page,

this I find, brings in a lot more traffic than a single listing.

In art there is something called the Golden Section, a perfect

proportion that works magic into any painting or picture. It is

an organic and natural effect that appears everywhere in our world.

For webmasters, having your site listed 1 and 2 for your keywords

has to be another form of the Golden Section, made especially for us.

In that same light, Organic SEO is a natural and effective way for

webmasters to grow their links and rankings. Articles and blogs

are two special tools we can use to further that natural growth.

Create your own Golden Section and give the search engines something

to talk about by trying Organic SEO. Build your links and rankings

the natural way.

Your site's salvation is only a keystroke away!
