Final Words

The real secret of an effective search engine strategy is achieving excellent search positions for your site so that anyone can find you.

Optimizing your site is a continuous process you need to successfully run. This is a complex and time-consuming task. It involves finding out your competitor's SEO strategy, carrying out your own link-building campaign, monitoring your rankings etc.

Still it is exciting and fulfilling when you get to the top in the search engines and ahead of your competition! And we are to make this process easier and the fruit of your job even more satisfying.

If you implement the above 7 steps exactly as described, your traffic will at least double! In many cases, you can expect an even greater boost to your rankings and free traffic from the search engines.


Here are just some more hints for your attention:

Analyze More Sites, And Get A Better Estimate Of How Competitive A Niche Really Is

Pick at least 3-5 competing sites in your niche and analyze them ALL, in all the major search engines.

This will give you a much deeper insight into what your niche competition are doing on the SEO field. Remember, every competition analysis report is specially designed to help you outrank a specific competitor. And because each competitor employs different optimization tricks, the data provided in different reports will, of course, be slightly different.

So if you have analyzed 3 of your top competitors and got 3 slightly different reports, just use each of them to optimize 3 different pages on your Website — and you will literally TRIPLE your chances for a #1 search engine placement!

For Optimum Results, Analyze Your Competition In As Many Search Engines As Possible

Research backlinks in ALL the major search engines (Google, Yahoo! And MSN.) to get the biggest, most accurate picture.

Pick Out Keywords Carefully

For the SEO Success Blueprint to be accurate, it is critical that you choose your niche keywords and/or competitor's site wisely.

One great tool you could use for keyword research is Rank Tracker. It includes a powerful "Suggest Keywords" feature. With it, you'll be able to grab traffic-generating keywords using Overture, Google Suggest, Yahoo! Search Assist, Ask TypeAhead Search Suggestions, your competitor's websites, and many other methods!

Build High-Quality Links

Once you're done with research and analysis of your competitor's backlinks, the time comes for a more time-consuming stage of your SEO process. This is link building itself: contacting potential link partners, putting your links to them on your site, checking if the partners still link back, etc.

One tool you can use to do all of the above quickly and easily is LinkAssistant. Download it, try it, and put it to use to cut your link building time by 70-80%.
