There's no doubt that being on the search engines has it's benefits, being on the search engines not only will attract more exposure to your business but more customers as well. Because search engine optimization is all about picking the right keywords, you won't find better targeted customers than the ones searching for what you sell. In this article we will discuss the methods and benefits of SEO.

Just like link building, keyword research is extremely important before you attempt any optimization to your site. Your keyword research will reveal which keywords you should target and which ones you shouldn't bother with. Once this process is done then you can start optimizing your website for those targeted keywords. This is only the first step of properly optimizing a website for the search engines.

While you are working on the SEO aspects of your site you can use all other free means to get some initial exposure. For example creating free local listings on Yahoo & Google will give you some visitors. Keep in mind that you should never be depending of a single source of traffic for your sites.

A major tip to increase the process of getting indexed and also to get your website content crawl by the search engines spiders is including a sitemap. By getting your content crawl often you'll find that most of your pages will be visible on multiple search engines. Some bigger sites sometimes require more than one, but if you have a site on a small niche one should be enough.

One of the things that has been proven many times is that adding a blog to your site improves your search engine rankings drastically. The search engines like Google simply love blogs because of the way they are structured. Blogs get updated often with fresh content and the overall usage of blogs help the site in general improve its position. Having a blog will put you one step ahead of your competitors.

There's no secret formula to instant SEO results, it all comes down to keyword research and how well you optimized your site for your keywords and for the search spiders. Backlinks also play a huge part in the process of ranking websites. If you are consistent with your backlinking process and you focus on quality you will see the results in no time.
