How to use SEO Positioning

Search Engine Optimization Positioning, or SEO Positioning, is extremely important when trying to make money online. Whether you are trying to get your eHow article high in search results, or drive traffic to a sales page for your product, you need to understand SEO positioning.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Researched Keyword Phrase

1. Do a Google Search with quotes around your keyword phrase, and take a look at how many search results there are. This is your competition for that keyword phrase, and needs to be evaluated carefully in order to evaluate your prospects when it comes to SEO positioning.

2. Evaluate the results: If there are very few search results, you may be able to get your well-optimized article, etc. on the front page of Google results for that query with careful SEO positioning. If there are a lot of search results for that keyword, you may not be able to compete. In both, cases, however, it depends on the optimization of the results on the front page.

3. Look at the results on the front page of your Google search, and understand their relationship to your SEO positioning. If there are e-zine articles, Yahoo Answers, wiki answers, or news articles over a couple of years old, you have an excellent chance of getting on the front page of those search results, no matter how many pages of results there are. If the front page is full of highly optimized articles, websites devoted entirely to your keyword phrase, etc., you are unlikely to get on the front page, even if there are only a few hundred pages of results.

Tips & Warnings

• A high number of search results may seem daunting, but if the front page articles are poorly optimized, it's actually good news. It simply means that the topic is popular, and not being fully exploited. Imagine going fishing, to an area you know is full of fish. You get there, and find the shore full of other fishermen. You might want to give up initially, until you realize that the other fishermen are trying to catch fish with unbaited hooks. Don't hesitate- use these SEO positioning tips to bait your hook, and go catch some fish!
