Non-professional SEO Optimization for Small Business Organizations

Welcome to NewbieSearch Engine Optimization is a crucial need of every business organizations that serves under a particular keyword for their consumers online. However, this amazing tool is often an expensive investment choice for small business organizations that struggles with proper budget solution.

SEO being an experimental art of regular testing and optimizing, these websites find it nearly impossible to afford SEO packages to rank and maintain their search engine placement. Therefore, these small business organizations become the seasonal buyers of SEO companies, whose next purchase depends highly on their budget. The best suggestion for such business organizations is to implement some immortal SEO techniques by themselves if not all.

Although, such SEO implementation from a layperson may not help them to rank on the first page but can add something useful. Therefore, whenever you afford your next SEO package, even a least optimization can help your business boost and rank.

SEO at some parts are critical and so it is better to hand it over to professionals but for blogging or article marketing; basic SEO knowledge of quality keyword and the density can do more.

Blogging:

Blogging has become an essential part for better SEO boost ups. If you do not have a blog for your website, then I strongly suggest you to have one because blog satisfies two crucial things for better ranking ; original content for search engines and updated stories for consumers.

Original Content for Search Engines:

The main motive of search engines is to provide quality information to its users. Thus, in the mess of thousands of websites competing in your niche, one effective way to rank better is by supplying quality content regularly in your website; the more your pages and contents are indexed the probability of better ranking and gaining fine visibility increases.

Furthermore, adding original contents regularly even compels search engines to crawl your website frequently. Hence, better blogging with quality-concerned contents is one strong reason for gaining better page rank and placement in SERP. Trace one of the renowned blog in your niche and find out its updates in a day, it is at least two or three times in a day, if you cannot update twice it is still worth updating once a day.

Update Stories for Consumers:

Updating and advertising your consumers is one excellent way to attract and grab them to your products, and blog helps you to do this more effectively.  Update your content with latest news and information that are more likely to help and notify your consumers, encourage them to subscribe, and response to their comments. Your consumers may or may not buy from you lately but this will surely make you the first option when they need kind products you offer.

Moreover, writing about your own products and services will make yourself known to those areas where your consumers are likely to find themselves in trouble and what they comment in your blog is all the feedbacks that helps you to improve your products.

Remember: it is highly recommended that your blog primary goal be your readers and not search engines. Although, it is essential to place major keywords and key-phrases but do not make your blog lifeless. If you have a WordPress blog than use appropriate keywords that dominates your content, do not use unrelated keyword tags because it simply confuses and dilutes your content and loses proper visibility.

Online Interactions:

Promote your website and blog in social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter. Social networking websites helps you to reach your consumers around the globe and assists you to create your own network in your niche. Today, social networking websites has becomes one of the most powerful SEO-SEM strategies for any online business. Thus, join such networking places where you can easily promote your products, services because they are the strong source of traffic, and needs no proper SEO knowledge, but little socializing and marketing skills.

Furthermore, reach to your competitor’s blog and find out what they are up to? On the other hand, find out probable blogs that shares a common theme with you. Making such interactions can truly help building strong network, and aware them about your business. Exchanging contents and blog them, it can mutually help to rank better. Similarly, it is always a good idea to join forums where many lost consumers seeks helps from experts; being a part of forums and guiding them through their problems can amazingly help you drive more traffic to your website and make them aware about your existence in the internet world. Similarly, engaging in such forms can even help you with better rankings without actually performing any SEO tasks.

Remember: Social networking websites are open marketing and advertising places – beside your personnel account– your consumer might be happy with your services or mad, so, it is always better to take their comments as a constructive criticism and never write anything offensive because your amateur behavior can ruin your impression among your customers.

Furthermore, we often see in forums where people perform unethical marketing like posting unnecessary links as a solution or if the user is from your competitor’s product than cursing them later suggesting their own websites. Avoid such practices as it simply breaks your brand name and image in the public.

Guest Blogging:

An easy way to accumulate quality links for those who can write is guest blogging, and if you are blogging for your own products and services then it is a better job for links to do. Guest blogging is simply blogging for other blogs at the bloggers will, and if you can pass this than you are likely to earn quality links and quality traffic without any begging link exchange emails.

Discover some good blogs in your niche and find out if they allow guest posting and guest blogging. Although, in some blog, quality bloggers are always welcome, whereas, in some other blogs, they mention if they need someone to replace them while they are out for vacation or wedding. So, just email them with a link of your own blog and a sample article. If you are not hired then you can use it for your own blog and if you are hired than your writings can earn traffic and rankings with a quality tag. Search engines rate such links high and is one strong techniques of SEO for better ranking and traffic.

Remember: Guest blogging is offer only if your writing skill can meet the need. So, write with patience and be careful about the punctuations and grammatical errors. It is also suggested to make your content simple and up to the level because the readers are new and if you cannot meet their expectations than you are likely to lose a good opportunity.

  2. As noted in today’s New York Times, blogging is on the wane, replaced by interaction in social media venues like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. My company specializes in working with small businesses to effectively use these and other avenues to connect with existing and potential customers. Blogging is 2010, interaction is 2011.

    While social media is definitely on the rise this year I’d think blogging will still provide some input on your site’s online exposure. After all there are some readers many blogs have already acquired, especially if one going to be guest blogging for reputable blog.

    The Challenge for most small business owners is the time it takes to blog and tweet and post on Face book. Someone needs to find a low cost solution, or most small biz owners are going to get left behind.
    I think Blogs are an important part of your Social media. You post the Blog on your face book, and twitter. It all works together. I have three blogs I wrote last week on the first page of Google for keywords (including local intent keyword: Denver)

    • Kiran Bista says:

      Yes, that is true Mike, low cost solution is the best answer for such small business owners. However, in absence, I think blogging and socializing in media websites can be a great optimization source and one doesn’t have to know every nuts and bolts of SEO, if able to manage a little time, it is the savior.

  6. SEO Specialist Florida says:

    I agree with Mike. I was working for a small company and places like that your roles are not as defined as working for a big corporation. I was hired as doing internet marketing but I ended up doing customer service and other admin works as well as updating the website, designing post cards and SEO. I somehow managed to get Page Ranked 3 by Google which is pretty nice especially because we had multiple small websites. Blog helps, inbound links help, optimizing the pages and being very relevant is very important!
