All of sudden, I am curious about maketing with SEO.
I open up my website in April, and I have tried to advertise on SNS and SEO.
But, there are some visits. How do I improve visiting my site?

    You have to structure your site first, make sure it is onpage optimized and then maintain several linkbuilding strategies that would make a lot of backlinks on your website. That way, search engines will index your site and your rank and traffic will eventually grow as time goes by.

    Did you seriously expect help with so little info to go on?

    You just asked how long is the piece of string behind your back!

    Go to Google type:

    SEO
    SEO Tutorial
    SEO Tips

    you get the idea, read a few dozen articles about SEO.

    And/or read this forum for a few weeks.

    Come back with specific questions you don't understand.

      I see SEO as a subset of internet marketing. You can't just start from SEO.

      Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
      Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

      What's your excuse?

    SEO is not marketing.. Yeah, for a website to grow you have to do many things along with SEO. At first in my opinion you should study SEO and Digital Marketing Tutorials first, there are plenty of sites in the internet.

    SEO is one of the best method for online marketing. But it is not enough to get more visitors quickly. Search Engine Optimization optimize your website for search engine, but it is slow process. To increase visitors or traffic on your website, Social Media and Content Marketing also best choice for you. So, I think with SEO you should focus on the content and social media.

    You must first make sure that your website is structured correctly and that your on-page is done correctly, then when you have a quality site you need to do proper link building to good quality sites and keep a social network on those sites in which you built the links too.

    Well whether SEO is marketing or not, I guess I will place it SEO is one of many marketing tool. But you always start of with analyzing your target first. Not straight bombard with SEO. The way you sounded in your post are like you just fire everything in without knowing what that is. You are just gonna miss the target with the wrong ammo. And telling people you want to bring down a bunker with just bullets from AK47 and M&P15. So analyze first.

    And yeah, to most business now, Social Media is a better tool to optimize. Well at least my industry and a few others. As it seems everybody had SEO, so now it goes down to who is able to interact with their target again.

    SEO is a technique to improve and to optimize the visibility of your website online through search engines. It's one aspect of marketing (specifically electronic marketing).

    Here are the things to remember:

    1. Your website has to be developed (not just designed aesthetically) as to make sure that the codes are functional, dynamic or simply "properly" done. Responsive design is part of web development. Valid HTML structure, not too many JavaScripts, not using Flash any longer, data updates appropriately so on. Google recently has announced that "mobile friendly" websites will be ranked better on all mobile traffics.
    2. Websites with a proper developer (some web designer) has done the due diligence of submitting your site with sitempa.xml to search engines. This will index your website better.
    3. Keywords on each pages are inputted correctly -- this is where SEO expert comes in so on...
    4. REALLY, the more contents you have on your website the more search engines can crawl on your website the better exposure. Example, use more texts rather than images. Another is add a "blog" section on your website. Add your social medial.
    5. Use, connect, and advertise through social networks. Those social medias with your company name and dedicated pages are indexed as well.
    6. Constantly update your website or add contents through blog.
    7. Use, measure, so on your progress using Analytics.

    SEO is really a technique to increase traffic to your website... IT IS NOT enough for marketing since you have other electronic marketing methods (i.e. E-blasting, TV, broadcast radio) and non electronic ones too like the traditional post cards, bill boards and networking.

    BUT IT IS a great approach for increasing your exposure to the market via Internet.

    Well, doing SEO can help a website to get a good rank in Google but for that you need to know what are its strategies and how it can be done easily. As you know marketing is must for enhancing the awareness of any business that too online. So, for that SEO is now getting huge advantage just because the task performed in it helps the business to get the huge existence of people world wide.

    By doing SEO for a business one can ensure to get good rank in Google within few weeks only and this is the reason why people should take the help of SEO whenever they want to get top rank in Google instantly.

    SEO is a long term game. It is something that you work on today to get "free" traffic later on in the life of your website. It is important you diversify your marketing and build traffic sources from a variety of sources including press mentions, social media referrals, email marketing, etc. This makes it more sustainable so that even if you fail in SEO, your website still lives on.

    Most marketing online can be considered a form of SEO, since you would mostly include a link back to your website which will help with SEO.

    If you want a top ranking, do a Google Hangout via YouTube Live events. They rank really high on YouTube and Google video search. You can put a link back to your site in the video description.

      That's completely backwards. Most forms of paid marketing are not effective for SEO, because legitimate sites want to follow Google's rules on this. And they state that paid advertising should not attempt to pass page rank.

      I'm fairly skeptical that video live event ranks any better outside Google+ world, but I can definitely tell you that the link is a nofollow.

    No doubt, SEO is the best technique to increase website traffic. But you can try social media, email marketing and marketing content that also helps you improve traffic, engagement and build trust with your targeted audience. That surely increase your productivity and sales.

      SEO will help a site to rank high on search engines as a results that site get huge visitors
      from there in this means it can be said that seo is just marketing way of a site.
