SEO means search engine optimization, anyone knows, right? But if you ask for the steps they follow, you might hear different answers. My today's post will shed light on this issue. Let us begin.
So, what does SEO mean to you? Is it a theory or a practical endeavor? I know, you will all agree that SEO is simply a vast subject. And time is pretty short, so you have one thing in your hand and that is your organizational skill.
This is really handy, if you have organizational skill, when you opt your brain into something really vast like search engine optimization.
Here is a little overview of what I do to promote (or you can say optimize my base to search engines) my business. Add more tasks in the comment box, if you feel suggest me. Would really love to have your suggestion
1. I submit articles to article directories (while submitting articles to different directories, I give emphasis over both authority building and backlinking, but I do not consider more than 100 directories. In fact, I predominantly give my attention over few top rated directories only)
2. I submit my URL to different web directories (again the same thing, to me, quality dominates quantity)
3. I share URLs to different bookmarking sites (pretty straightforward)
4. I post press release to different press release directories
5. I share my blog posts
Now tell me about yours and please make this post worthy for the rest of the visitors.
Thanks for stopping by.
Best regards,

Yes, I got frustrated enough before I started putting my all effort to find out something really useful and worthy of my time. You know what I mean, at least you can guess. Yes, I know many of my co-(serious) workers who are somewhat frustrated like me, if they opt for quality business in their article marketing effort.
Tell me, how many times you bumped over an article directory list and finally ended up finding 50% of them are no use of you, either they have closed taking new registrars, or they might have a real low PR or a horrified Alexa value! I know, your answer would be many times, if you are also doing your business seriously.
After getting tremendously frustrated finally I have composed a l-o-n-g but top quality list of article directories for my loyal readers. Here we go.
Download the Pdf list and enjoy!![]()
If you enjoyed my list, encounter any trouble with any of this list, let me know. I would love to know that.
Love you guys, thanks for stopping by.
Best wishes,

I personally feel this is a good idea to increase both PR and site exposure. By doing mini reviews in a reputable blog site, you can not only get your site's exposure, but also you will be able to earn reputation and help yourself to target higher page rank (PR). So what is mini review? Well, mini review is something where your site's characters, services, benefits and of course disadvantages, if any, will be openly discussed, in a neutral tone and in a miniature form, say within 200-250 words. In this review, 2-3 links will be given and these links are permanent, that means, as long as the blog will be live, these links will be alive. In this way, you will get a portion of the traffic from this website and also your link to this website / blog will be established, which will help in boosting your site's PR. So take the benefit of mini reviews and earn a good exposure for your site.I personally offer this service to my clients. If you would like to take the benefits of this service, here are the details:
1. Fill up the following form. Each and every field is compulsory.
2. Please have some patience and allow me at least 24-48 hours after you submit your form. At present, I am extremely busy with my online business. But still you are precious to me.
3. After reviewing your form, I will let you know how much it would cost.
4. The cost may vary from USD8.00 to USD20.00 depending on your requirement.
6. After finishing your review, I will place it on my blog and send you the permanent link of it as soon as all are finished.
Thanks for your interest, time and patience.

Honestly, this is not a very good practice to use others’ forum exclusively as a platform for self-promotion, unless otherwise specified. Granted that if you have been participating in many discussions for quite a longer period of time and your contribution is highly recognized, well it might be something different if you use the forum for the purpose of self-promotion once in a while, however, in a delicate and sensitive style such as providing others the opportunity to comment on your posting, not just a mere dull advertisement. To be straight with you, it demands skills to develop on time.
One little suggestion: you can use the signature area to promote your business. In addition, you may take time to explain the forum moderator intelligently and sensibly how your business can benefit to the community, and not just a mere profit making and link sharing machine exclusively designed for you. When you have been able to strategize this part, look you are just ready to go ahead to promote your business in most of the standard forums.
So, when you are choosing non-business forums to promote your business, the first thing that you can do is to start an off-topic discussion. Make the discussion in an engaging style and extremely interactive to pull readers’ attention. When you are able to place your discussion in such a style and become able to relate your business in a subtle form, you can be rest assured of the fact that you are no way far from receiving request for more information in your mailbox. In this way, forum operators are happy since you are not violating any rules and serving each other’s for their needs and forum users are also happy since their needs are met. Needless to say, forum postings build visibility in web search, blog search and forum search.
Now when your press release is done, the next step you should take is the distribution of the press release. The first place where you should look for the distribution of the press release is the services already indexed with major news search service. If you can afford, create 4-5 versions of the press release of the same event and release them following an agenda, say monthly agenda or weekly agenda. Well, you can rewrite the same press release for different services. Rewriting is important to avoid the possibilities of rejection due to the blame of duplicate content filter. And needless to say, the degree of online visibility improves at a much faster rate. Press release is an effective way to obtain visibility in both web search and news search. In addition, it also offers extensive benefit in PR distribution site services including subscription, internal search or XML feeds.
The Power of Forum MarketingForum is one of the most powerful places to be used for the purpose of gaining improved visibility. Now the question is: when you are planning to post your business announcement, what types of forums you would particularly consider? Basically, you can choose two different types. One that accepts business announcements specific to your business, for example, if you owning a fishing net business, quite obviously, you should not post your business announcement in tomato-products related forum. Isn’t it? The second type is obviously those forums that accept business announcements in random fashion. Well, take it as a point that many standard forum-owners do not have any intention to entertain you if you use his forum specifically to promote your business. After all, he has created this place to share your views, opinions, likings and disliking to the world.
Be unconventional, act unconventionally. Let your campaign drive more traffic than your business rivals. Pull out your imagination and play with it. However, you should never try to sensitize your campaign in the name of unconventionality. Share random facts about your company and planning, however, not trying intentionally to be gimmick. Practically, it is your ability how to present the data in an unconventional but attention-grabbing format to make people take interest in you. Above all, let them understand that you are a human and definitely deserve a second look. A suggestion: begin the discussion by talking about the early history of your company and make your readers know more about your passion behind your dream company.
Act with Action beyond Mere Words
Now let us move our attention from the domain of passion to the domain of action. If your company is located in a small town, why don’t you take the advantage of local event hosting? You can do it in many ways. For example, you can offer decent contribution to the children’s library to grab the press attention or you can offer help local social event in their fundraising activity. Practically the possibilities are endless. But always remember one simple fact: press release is something that deals with events and it is not at all a self-promotional propaganda. Many people commit mistakes at this point.

If your answer is ‘Yes’ to the above asked question, then only you please proceed to the next sections. Believe me I do not have any quick rich schemes in my knowledge box. So if you know something faster, I don’t mind having it here in my comment box. Well for the rest, let us move further. The first thing that you should take into account is press release. Say, you own a company. Now how the press release can offer benefit to your business? Let us keep it simply. First of all, say if you have a new company, a press release can help you to make an announcement about the inauguration of the business. Now, say for example, you are going to open a new business section, so press release is the ideal option for you to let the world know about it.
Let Us Talk about Press Release First
Now the question is: whom you should consider for writing press release for you? Should he be an award-winning journalist or should his writing deserve a Pulitzer Prize? What do you say? I don’t know, but my suggestion is of course a big ‘No’. In fact, if you would like to prove yourself unique, you should talk from your heart, you should talk from your brain, like a human, not like a word-making machine. After all who does not know about the generic qualities of a business? But think twice: is this all that your readers take interest in? No, the answer can not be positive. Rather it can set your campaign apart from the rest.
Now let us try to understand some basic search engine optimization approaches. If you have shown your patience so far, the next question that must strike your mind is about monetization. Well let me come to a simple point now. Many people just only think that SEO is something that is only related to monetization. This is NOT true. Search engine optimization is not only monetization, but a much deeper knowledge ensuring highest performance potential obtained from the relationship with search engines in particular. Here the money acts like a metaphoric component representing the obtainable self-interest of an individual. To take it simply, you can monetize your knowledge to the seeker.
Let Us Move with Three Key Points
So, the story is not limited to the link building only. You can’t only stress on conversions as well. The main objective here is online visibility. Well, take my opinion, if you spend your quality time on searching for links, well I must admit, this won’t be a very good practice. Granted, if you can manage getting some good links, hmm it is good. So what should you do? The first thing that you must do is to ask yourself: Are you honest? Are you passionate enough? Are you hard-working? These three are the key points that help you to touch the peak of success. So do you have them in you?
Well, so far what did you get? What you should employ to increase visibility? Tell me one thing. When you are reading a discussion, what is the first thing that you would notice? Of course, you search for something new. So to increase your visibility, you should employ the same technique. You must build your skill to present new topics and new ideas in the old discussions. Quite possibly, search results can throw these new ideas when people search. Let us begin with something simple. Use your intuition and ask your inner mind about the things you should inquire about. So it is really important that you should have updated news, because most of the people actually take interest on new things.
Let Google Take Interest in You!
So, when you have updated information, you don’t really need to bother about the rest of the world, because search engines will put their best effort to find out your contents when people will be looking for it. You don’t really need to bother about that. For example, I posted Mesothelioma – A Rare Type of Cancer only a few days back in my health blog, which is not an old one also, but when you make a search query using ‘rare type of cancer’, it comes on the first page. Wow! I am just so happy! Practically when you keep yourself updated, Google will take interest in you, since Google are for searchers and they are the searchers who make Google so much successful. It’s a simple calculation.
Although this is the situation in majority of the cases, this is WRONG. Why? Well, an effective SEO design can not be implemented if it does not tally with someone’s personal interests. So quite obviously, you can only have a very less information about others’ personal interests when you will not share yours openhandedly. It is really important that you share your experience on search engine optimization with a lively attitude and in a personalized tone, if you really want to touch the fortune as a SEO guru. It is important since the friendly tone brings more impact than a scholarly speech. There are many SEO gurus out there who employ this trick to deliver their success message to their followers. Do you too?
Now the question is why this style of personalization brings more impact? It is because of its simplicity. When you bring an Italian dish in a broken plate, will it be really interesting to consume? I don’t think so. Do you think? According to general human psychology, people really do not take much interest about generic advices that have hardly any impact on the end result. If you have enough freedom, place your discussion lightly and use the power of search technique to increase your online visibility. Needless to say, a majority of SEO people use this technique while building their online visibility by employing the technique of search engine optimization. Now what are the techniques? The major SEO techniques are press releases, forum postings, news group postings, email discussion list posting and blog posting.
Let Us Talk about Passion, Leave Business for a While
Now coming to another important domain of search, we can see that the majority of SEO people only search contents relevant to the objective of their business. They hardly bother about searching for things for their past time. Let me clarify this point to some extent. Say, when you join in any SEO forum, what are the points you find for discussion? Is there anything that you can easily find to satisfy your personal interests? Probably, your answer would be a big ‘NO’. After all, when we are discussing about something serious like search engine optimization, why should you bother about discussing something light like ‘your favorite pastime is playing Microsoft’s Age of Empires’! Funny! There is no time to waste, and the time is only to think about techno-gadget. Wrong, let us think twice.
Off page SEO, in simple words, refers to the technique that you can employ once your site is already on the air. Needless to say, off page SEO helps in increasing the ranking of a site over the search engine, however, without bringing any changes on the web pages itself. In practice, there are few factors lying outside your site that you can take care of to increase your site visibility, and this is why this technique is known as off page SEO.
There are different known ways to increase your site’s visibility by employing off page SEO factors. These strategies are – (1) article marketing, (2) forum marketing, (3) advertising on craigslist.com, (4) triangular backlinking, and (5) partnership linking.
Article Marketing
Article submission in different article directories is one of the most effective ways to bring high traffic. Moreover, there are many article directories on the web that have a high PR rank. So article submission increases the chances of getting quality backlinking from the high PR website, and thus increases the visibility of the website over the search engine.
Forum Marketing
Take the advantage of forum marketing. When you join a forum dedicated to the success of your online business, you will find that you are allowed to use texts or links in your signature. When you make any post, the signature link will automatically come and your prospected buyers will click on your signature link to visit your site. Using this way, you will not only have high volume of traffic, but serious buyers for your products as well.
Advertising on Craigslist.com
Craigslist.com has a high PR rank. In fact, its PR rank is exceptionally high. So when you put advertisement on Cragislist.com, no matter if you can not get any response to your advertisement, search engine spiders will consider that your site has a backlink from a higher PR site, which will certainly increase the visibility of your site over the search engine.
Triangular Backlinking
Google discourages reciprocal linking. However, triangular linking is something that Google spider does not take into offensive account yet. In this type of linking, X website’s link is placed on Y website, Y website’s link is placed on Z website and Z website’s link is placed on X website.
