There are many ways of selling your products online...through emails or banner
advertisements you can promote your website, but the most optimum way which
is cost effective too is the Search Engine Positioning. If you put your efforts
to achieve and continue to be at the high ranking position...and of course
if your ways of doing so is ethical, no body can stop you from holding your
targeted customers for indefinite period of time.The ranking of your site may
vary from time to time but if you ensure total optimization the variations
would be negligible and you will remain in the race but not vanish.

Keywords Selection

Keywords are the phrases you use to promote your business online. It is the
most imperative step since if you do it wrongly you might end up targeting
a traffic which is not interested in your product. There are many softwares
available to choose the most suitable keywords for your website.

Site Content

Your site content should be such that it should coincide with the type of
product you are selling, meaning that if your product calls for a forum or
blog, the site should contain the same. This should be done before optimizing
the site and new contents might be added to cover every details which your
traffic might like to have.

Site Structure

A visitor reads from top left to right and then goes down. Hence, your top
left should be so attractive the visitor is excited to read the later parts
of your website. If he is not interested from the beginning he might lose interest
and you end up losing a customer even though the later parts of your website
might be interesting for him.

Optimization

As already said, the top left of your website is most important, so, the heading
is most important which also would be your website's one of the important keywords.
Here, we can also talk about the keyword density...ie, the number of times
you use a particular keyword in your content. There are no certain rules for
choosing keyword density percentage but it is generally, between 4% and 12%.

Page Linking

It is important to ensure that the visitors are at ease when they want to
find specific things on your website. There should be links on your pages so
that they can directly access what they primarily want. For example, if your
website is on ‘cameras’ and a visitor is interested only in ‘digital
cameras’, there should be links on your page at the outset for the ‘digital
cameras’ or may be a link which talks about faq’s on cameras. This
will ensure that your website is fully indexed and the navigation is in place.
The text links can be placed at the bottom or midway on the home page or a
sitemap can be created to all the next pages to the home page.

Mock Visitor Testing

A person who has never accessed your website can be made to sit and observe
whether the navigation process has been done properly or not. He should be
able to find all the specific information regarding the product without any
hassles. They should be able to tell you what is missing in the content, if
any or what is irrelevant to him.

Submissions to the engines

Submissions of your website should be done to general directories as well
as to topic specific directories so that you are not left out in case you go
too specific about directories. All the major and topical search engines should
be chosen. They take sometime to get picked and then your work is to find out
ways to remain picked.

Creating Links

If you give due pointers to search engines on your website they in turn will
give you credits. It will solely depend on your business/industry type and
the targeted keywords to choose number of engines. You can also find out approximate
number of links your competitor has on each engine.

After you have created links on the directories, next would be to develop links
between 2 related websites. You have to find a really good weblink partner
where you are sure that your visitor is sure to visit.



Review Mechanism

Reviews of major search engines should be made for the keywords you have targeted,
also, the traffic to your website should be evaluated on a daily basis to find
out new keywords being used to find your site and accordingly the site has
to be updated each time. Each time you have to make changes in the above steps.
