There are two main types of tatics that we use to get the search engines to sniff around at our doorsteps. Just getting them to come to our homes on the net is just one part of the scenerio. Once we get them there how do we get them to come in, and investigate? We want them to come in and find our websites interesting enough to place it in the search engines. However, placement in the search engine index is not enough. We need to get placement within a certain amount of pages to even be considered these days. Considered by whom? Humans that browse the Internet looking for what they searched for.

The Search Engines Found Us
We need to get their attention the right way

If you do not follow rules of the search engines do not expect anything from them. Search engines today are getting so very smart, and they can sniff out the riff raff in a heart beat. The goal is to be an honest site, so that honest people visit. We first start off by adding relevant keywords to our website. The keyword here is "relevant", and if you slip up and start using keywords that are false you will get into trouble.

Lets talk about how to use keywords within a website about Paint Shop Professional (the software). If I wanted people in the world to find my site interesting about the program I would have to actually write about the program i.e. how to use it, the history of the program, and more. I would use keywords like Paint Shop Pro, PSP, Tubes, Graphics, Drawing, Design, Software. Now, if the page contained these keywords legally then Google, Yahoo, Live, Ask, and all the other search engines would say "Hey this site IS helpful ... lets bookmark it in our index on page 2". If I was to toss in words House Paint, Fingernails, Nail Polish, Colors, Perfume or whatever ... then the search engine will think "hmmm they are trying to pull a fast one on us because this page is not about painting houses or fingernails. Doing things like that will likely get you listed on page 90!

Now lets talk about Phrases we can use within a website about Paint Shop Pro. The same rules above are for the phrases you use within a website. Another great thing about using phrases is that you can be unique. Example of a unique phrase years ago was "Ebay Top Seller Auction" ... it is obvious that Ebay was the name "brand" of the company, and the keyword Auction showed its purpose. Phrases work wonders these days and you should seriously consider them even when you are searching. Lets use Auction in our search and I can bet you come up with pages of different auctions out there. Now pretend its 8 yrs ago and do a unique search like Ebay Seller Auction and I bet that Ebay Auction would have been listed as number one. The point here is do not be afraid to use unique phrases, but you must still stay relevant.
