The Most Important Thing In Search Engine Optimization

The most inportant thing you can do in SEO is go out and get backlinks to your website from other credible websites. It sounds to simple, but it works. Of course it gets deeper than that, but for the most part, that is SEO summed up in a nutshell. The trouble is that there are really only two ways to get links to your website online. The push methods, and the pull methods.

Push Method Of Getting Links

The push method is going out and begging for links, putting you site in directories, article marketing, forum posting, and blog posting. It does work, but it is extremely tedious and a constant uphill battle. Think of it as going to networking event where the only people in the room are realtors, stock brokers, and insurance agents. Not that there is anything wrong with those professions, but they are all their for themselves.

Pull Method Of Getting Links

The pull method of getting links works a little bit differently, and is rarely talked about by SEO companies except for the best. This is where you do exactly what you should have been doing all along, and creating extremely valuable, or interesting content for your target customers. It could be a blog post that comments on a hot topic asking people to join in the conversation, or a really good tutorial on how to do something. It could be a poll, or a contest. Whatever it is, make sure it is what the reader is looking for, and not a sales page. Those come later. Focus on providing great content for the sake of great content and getting it out there, and you will begin to drive more traffic.
