I have a lot of people ask me where to start when it comes to an SEO Program?
One thing that we need to remember is that you can never really force your way to the top of any search engines. If you do you are probably a black hat expert and you don’t mind your site ranks fluctuating too much. In my head I ask myself what the natural flow of introducing a site to my friends would be and how that process would spread.
Lets use my favorite type of jeans for instance…
I am wearing my jeans and run into one of my friends. In normal conversation my jeans come up and I tell them about how much I like them and that everyone should were them. My friend leaves. After a week or two he decides that he needs a new pair of jeans and the conversation we had comes up. He searches for that brand of jeans. He finds a store that has the jeans and the sales person tells him a little more about the Jeans, he tries them on and buys them.
Now how does that relate to the natural flow for SEO? And where do directories fit in:
Here is how I SEO –
1. Online Press Release (this is where I tell my friend about my jeans)
2. Directory Submissions (this is so my friend can find a store that sells the jeans)
3.Hubpage comments (this is the sales person trying to make a commission selling the jeans)
4.Blog Comments (this is where my friend tells more people about the jeans)
5. Blog posts (this is where I tell more friends)
By following a similar search engines will not see anything that seems odd for any type of rapid growth.
