I'm new to internet marketing. I'm definitely interested in local search engine marketing.

I'm wondering though, If I want to a rank a website say for the keyword

"san diego plumber"

What is the most effective way of doing that. Relevant Backlinks?.

Many people use articles to generate backlinks right?, Wouldnt that just bring that article up when my keyword term is searched rather then the site?.

    They do ... though article directory backlinks are typically very poor quality. They tend to be non-context-relevant, PR-0 backlinks, and apart from a small group of well-known, well-established directories, they tend to be temporary, too, because the average lifespan of an article directory is well under a year.

    No. The backlinks in the articles' resource boxes collectively increase the significance (in search engines' eyes) of the site linked to (i.e. your site), and tend gradually to elevate its position in the search results pages they show to users searching for appropriate keywords.

    One of the aims of people using article directories is to enhance their own site's SEO, not that of the directory itself.

      Right my site is already ranking on some keywords in google places

      Keyword 1(One Box)

      keyword 2 (B)

      keyword 3 (One Box)

      keyword 4 (F)

      keyword 5 (A)

      keyword 6 (A)

      keyword 7 (C)

      keyword 8 (G)

      Different City keyword 9 (E)

      Different City keyword 10 (A) PAGE 2

      keyword 11 (I) Page 4

      What I want to do is rank for certain keywords also in the local search outside of g places.

      So I'm wondering since I don't do s.e.o, what is the best way of doing that?....

      The keyword

      San Diego Plumber has About 749,000 results W/O qoutes

      "San Diego Plumber" has About 6,620 results W/ qoutes

      Which I'm sure isn't to hard to rank for.... So since article backlinks aren't permanent, And They tend to be non-context-relevant, PR-0 backlinks.....What is normally done to get a site ranked for a certain keyword?..

    Google map listings are good. I also always advocate doing a little research for local news outlets. You can submit press releases to local media. Classified ads in local markets work well too.

    i don't thin that they only accelerate your articles. they also increase the rank of your site. Google just see the links that you have and article submission is just an easy way to do this.

    Buying Google adwords can work well for local results too, so long as you really target your submitted terms geographically. This worked well for us in upstate NY.
