So your new website is completely indexed by all the search engines. You are feeling pretty good about yourself right now. So why is it then you remain on the last page of a keyword search. Or worse yet, for a keyword that has nothing to do with your website. How do you feel when your internet marketing affiliate site is found under a keyword about baby dolls?

Chances are real good your site isnt optimized for search engines. Many articles can be found on how to get traffic to your site. Most consume at least a little of your time or cost you some money. Search engine optimization is well worth your time and won't cost you anything if you follow these simple steps.

1.Choose a keyword rich domain. This is pretty self explanatory. When you register your domain, take your time to find the website name that can used to your benefit. If your domain is shirt.com and someone googles "shirt" chances are very good they will be directed to your site.

2.Use your keywords in headings and metatags. Most website creation software such as Xsite Pro will automatically do this for you.

3.Get as many incoming links to your site as possible. You can do this by exchanging links with other webmasters, submitting to directories, writing articles or the somewhat controversial buying links. (keep in mind, google requires you notify them of paid links-proceed with caution). Make certain your links are from sites with at least somewhat similar content.

4.Create redirect pages. Redirect pages send the viewer who types Inlinebusinessprograms.com to www.inlinebusinessprograms.com or http://www.inlinebusinessprograms.com . Or however you set it up. You want to make certain someone looking for your site can find your site no matter how it is typed. This includes the search engine robots.

There are many theories out there but no one but Google knows for sure what their search engine algorithm is. The steps above are a move in the right direction.
