Boost Your Legitimate Home Internet Business With HitTail For Better SERP

Peter Lee — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 14:45:14 +0000

Every legitimate home [tag-ice]internet business[/tag-ice] owner knows that to be really successful depends largely on how much traffic gets to your website or blog. Well this is no secret but if you do want to see such unstoppable traffic, you first have to learn how to make this happen. In my last post, I shared some of the best [tag-ice]blogging tips[/tag-ice] to get you traffic. In this post, I will focus on how you can easily improve the natural search results to your [tag-ice]home business[/tag-ice] and not necessarily using [tag-ice]top keywords[/tag-ice].

1. Long Tail Keywords

A long tail keyword is a keyword phrase typically containing three or more words. This means it has less competition. You want to focus on long tail keywords with the objective of finding niches with more searches and with lesser competition. The bottom line is that you want to find your most promising long tail keywords besides your usual [tag-ice]top keywords[/tag-ice] which will get you lots of traffic, which in turn benefit your legitimate home internet business.

2. Introducing HitTail

HitTail was developed by a leading technology search marketing and public relations firm offering its service to help webmasters maximize their natural search efforts. In a nutshell HitTail is going to help you and me by revealing in real-time the least utilized but most promising keywords hidden in the Long Tail of your natural search results.

3. How Does HitTail Help You?

HitTail shows you every search hit that has made it to your legitimate home internet business site. These hits include one word or long tail keywords. HitTail then uses its sophisticated algorithms to extract for you underperforming terms as suggestions into a box for your review. These keywords are chosen for their ability to boost the positions of your site’s search ranking. At this stage you may choose them by moving into a “to do” list for your actions, which I will explain later.

Writing good content is generally good and is supposed to bring in the traffic. However, you can add a further boost to your natural search results by writing using real-world searches which lead to your legitimate home internet business website.

In reality most of our sites may not rank well in natural search results, not yet anyway. But according to this research firm, search traffic on the collective searches for long tail keywords can exceed your most popular [tag-ice]top keywords[/tag-ice] combined together.

4. Take Actions

Once HitTail delivers to you suggestions of the keywords which are considered promising keywords hidden in the long tail keywords, you can and should start to use these keywords in your usual writing for your blog or website. Use these keyword suggestions as your writing topics. The more you use them the more traffic will be generated to your site, thus developing a snowball effect. It’s going to boost the natural search results of your site. It’s a simple yet powerful concept.

5. Testimonials

Here are what some people who have used HitTail have this to say: about HitTail.

6. Get Started Now

After you have registered with HitTail, you will be given some codes to put into your website. Once you have installed these codes, the whole process basically runs by itself and you just need to login to its website to review and take actions on your HitTail Hits. It’s going to give your internet home business a real boost in terms of natural search results, which already includes your current top keywords. Here is the link that you can register. There is a paid as well as free version.

Ten Good Ways To Get More Web Traffic

Peter Lee — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 16:04:55 +0000

Home Internet Business, attracting website traffic and more importantly sustaining it has to be one of your key business strategies. Needless to say, there are many ways to increase website traffic. You do need to uncover the best strategies of learning how to tap this traffic, hopefully a growing one at that, perhaps self-replicating stream and most importantly it should be free. This article provides some good ideas to increase blog traffic too.

(1)Search Engine Ranking

It is important for your Home Internet Business to ensure that your website is search engine friendly as this will certainly help grow your website traffic. Do ensure all the meta and alt tags are completed and there is a H1 header, optimizing the text for your chosen keywords. There are a number of sites which provide a “spider simulation” which shows you what your site looks like to a spider and what you can do to improve its [tag-ice]search engine ranking[/tag-ice]on the quality of your website is generated for your view and to take necessary steps for improvements.

(2) Directories

Directories are website listings and there are many to choose from. A good method to choose a reputable one would be to look for directories that have a good traffic rating, one that receives significant high volumes of website traffic (use Alexa). A few good examples to start this would be Yahoo and DMOZ.

(3) [tag-ice]Traffic Exchanges[/tag-ice]

Every website you view in a traffic exchange generates credits which are exchanged for views of your own site. Most Traffic Exchanges are free to join and they generate traffic for you almost instantly. There are basically two types of exchanges, manual surf and auto surf. The manual surf exchanges are preferred as they require the person to view and click the sites. The more sites you view the more people visit your website and the more your website traffic grows. To increase web traffic even further, join a few of them so as to generate more visitors, which can help in your page ranking too.

(4) [tag-ice]Article Writing[/tag-ice].

One of the most time consuming but effective methods of increasing search engine traffic. Most of these article directories offer this service free. Ensure that your article is optimized for keywords and that you include your website url bio line at the bottom of the article before you submit. Ezines, Magazines, Business Blogs, and webmasters are always on the lookout for good content to include in their articles as they are also in the quest for better search engine ranking.This method is very effective in getting one-way back links to your site or home business blog.

(5) Blogs

There are more than 10 blog platforms to choose from. High on this list are word press and blogspot. Ensure your blog is located on your site, and check that it links to your key pages and that you ping each time your blog is updated. Search engines favor sites with frequently changing, unique content so you will need to provide regular updates to your blog. A regularly updated blog will attract readers which in turn builds and increases [tag-tec]website traffic[/tag-tec].

(6) [tag-ice]Forum Marketing[/tag-ice]

Join a few good forums so that you can leave your URL in them. This will increase traffic in two ways. Firstly, people who read your posts are likely to click the link to checkout your site. Secondly search engines will generally accept the link which adds up to your link popularity. Another benefit of joining these forums is also to learn from other experienced and successful marketers. You’ll be surprised at their willingness to share their knowledge with you.

(7) [tag-ice]Viral Advertising[/tag-ice]

If you have an idea and you tell 10 people and they each tell 10 people and so on, by the time the idea goes through 10 levels it has been passed on to a million people.You can use this similar principle as your business marketing strategy too. If you produced a free report or ebook filled with links back to your site and gave it away, the chances are those you gave it away to would do the same thing. Your links would then multiply significantly over the Internet giving a viral effect and your website traffic will grow.

(8) [tag-ice]Reciprocal Links[/tag-ice]

They are also called [tag-tec]link exchange[/tag-tec] and link swapping. Webmasters hope that people will click on their link in other websites thereby generating website traffic. However, be selective in who you do reciprocal links with. Always ensure that your link partner is relevant to your business niche and preferably has good [tag-tec]Page Ranking[/tag-tec]. This strategy is one of the very best ways of generating free, targeted website traffic also is highly rated by search engines

(9) Classified Ads

Way before the web came along, if you wanted to advertise you would turn to the newspaper “classified” section. Classified ads didn’t die with the web, they just went online. One of the most popular classified sites is Craigslist.com. This can be a powerful tool for getting search engines to notice your site and send you traffic.

(10) [tag-ice]PPC Marketing[/tag-ice]

PPC stands for “Pay Per Click” and is very effective in bringing traffic to the website you are promoting. Google’s Adwords program is one of the most successful PPC engines. Essentially, you purchase ads from Google by writing an ad and bidding on keywords to determine how much you will pay when someone clicks your ad. This is a good and powerful tool to advertise your product or webpage to millions of people who access the Internet at very low bid.
