So you want to be the top dog! Want to be number 1 and get clicked on the most. How do I get to the top of the organic search rankings? Here is a simple 5 step process which can vault you to the top of the local search!

1. Good keyword research. You need to have the proper keywords to get a high ranking. We don’t want general search and "let’s get information" type words. Car, computer, i pods, cell phones, insurance, and credit cards are all examples of generic terms that are used for research. These are not buying keywords and are not easiy attainable for the top. You want to break things down like Milwaukee ford dealers, Milwaukee used cars, Milwaukee computer stores etc. are what people search for when they want to buy. They also can be dominated by new web sites.

2.  Content, new content, good content. I think you get the idea that you must have really good fresh content on your site. Potential customers want to know that you are an expert and the best way to show them is through your writing and information you give away. I also mean for you to submit well written articles linking to your site which drives the rankings and will also bring traffic.

3. You shall use social bookmarking. to gain links and traffic. When linking you will use a locally optimized keyword like Milwaukee watch store which only has 3 local stores listed and no sites with a high PR at the top. Take you niche break it down to long tail keywords and add a local qualifier. What’s "Long Tail Keyword?" check back in the next couple of days I will be explaining it.

4. Publish to directories. Not just any directories and not with an auto submitter either. Spamming directories doesn’t help your rankings. Submitting your site by hand is the way to go and make sure each directory is a high PR directory. Also make sure it has a relevant category you fit in. If the directory is only for Christian sites and you don’t have Christian content don’t submit it there. Find directories that match what you are selling so when someone does see your site they will come too possibly buy.

5. You will use Rss feeds when possible. Don’t have a blog? Doesn’t matter you can create your own Rss feeds with your web site. You can also post your links on free blog services and get traffic and back links from them. There are many ways to use Rss feeds and I will help later on but make sure you start using them. They can jump you up rankings almost faster than anything else when the other steps are taken.

There you have it. Nice simple, fast, and effective way to the top of the local search engines. Good luck in your quest.
