Hello All,

I am trying to get my page ranked on the first page of google. I hired a SEO guy in July and I am writing articles and blogging. What should my next steps be for generating more traffic for my website?

My website is in my sig. I am trying to generate my own leads online. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Tossing it in your sig here is a good start, but you need to
    turn your sig links into text links. You can probably get
    an example somewhere. Something like
    [ url = "domain" ]text[ / url ]
    No spaces. I need to use spaces or it shows as a text.
    Another tip is to put text links in and at the bottom of your posts.
    That is, in your blog if your site is on daffy duck, then make
    a few texts with daffy duck point to your site.
    You also need a blog that is picked up by google. digg it, ping it,
    or even toss it up on squidoo will do the trick.
    Since you have a blogspot blog, google should see it anyway.
    That is just a small part of what you can do now.
    Do some more research and good luck!


    Oh yeah. Read this whole forum. The wealth of info is amazing!

    Keep on on what you're doing. One question is how competetive is the keyword you're trying to rank for?

    You may want to try social site bookmarkings, try Socialmarker.com, and looking for backlinks from high PR websites. One good source is Angela Edward's backlink packets.

    Just my 2 cents.

    fire SEO guy today... you are wasting your money

    <meta NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="Milton,MA,">

    perhaps...

    <meta nameE="keywords" content="life insurance,Milton,Massachusetts">

    would be a better option.

    and this one kills me...

    <meta NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="MA,PA,TX Life Insurance Quotes,Leading Resource for Massachusetts Life Insurance Products. Full explanation and complete details of affordable life insurance in Massachusetts.">

    not even in the ballpark

    <meta name="robots" content="index, follow">

    it's good to have robots crawl and index the page.

    another winner...

    <H1>MA,PA,TX Life Insurance Quotes,Leading Resource for Massachusetts Life Insurance Products. Full explanation and complete details of affordable life insurance in Massachusetts.</H1>

    awfully long H1 header, smells a little spammy. Google caught on to keyword stuffing a long time ago.

    And I don't even know why the actual content of your site is in a frame, not even sure if the google bots can see that frame. Maybe you're doing some cray black smurf stuff that I'm just not up to date on.

    just my $.02

    I'm all about that bass.

    hello MALifeinsurance,

    Just continue what you're doing.

    Social bookmarking, directory submission and article submission are some of the techniques to have a one way back link.

    Squidoo lenz and other similar site can also help increase traffic.

    So, your goal is to get your page ranked on the first page of google, generate traffics, and get leads . . .

    The keys are:

    1. on-site & off site optimization
    - html tags: meta tag (description, keywords), title tag, image tag, anchor tag (link), content headings (h1,h2, strong)

    2. targeted, and specific keywords (trial and error - your keyword your success)
    - research, group, prioritize, double check
    -
    3. linkbuilding stragies
    - forum posting with ur sig
    - social bookmarking
    - directory submission
    - blog writing - quality
    - press release

    4. marketing strategies
    - when you submit content include marketing stragies


    try also ppc if you have a budget . . .

    Note: include your keywords 1,3,4

    Cheers to your Success!!!

    Keep on doing fresh articles and when you exchange links make sure to choose a site that has a good PR.
