I went from literally 5-10 hits a day to 90-110 a day within the span of one week and I did it with just three easy to implement keyword placements.

I'm working on a Podcast and Deep tutorial Series that will focus on marketing your Network using a tool we talked about in a earlier Blog Market Samurai. Now I have to admit, even though I am a Marketing Director in real life, doing SEO (site engine optimization) everyday, that I haven't done much in the marketing dept. for either one of my networks beyond submitting them to search engines and directories, but I have done a few things that gave me a huge boost (at least on one of them) while I try to find some time to do proper SEO work on them. Here on ProSocialgo I bare it all, so I'll let you in on some of my own stats, though they are hardly impressive, but, what is impressive is I've literally done nothing more than about thirty min. of work bringing in the traffic I have.   The tips I have today are just the tip of the ice-burg, they are just enough fuel to get you off the ground and running.   My little prayer box  receives 2500 hits a month or 90-110 a day, I get 1-2 (on averg.)  members a day, and 1-3 email prayer requests, for people who don't want to sign up. I know, that's not much, but it's actually fine for me, I don't think I could handle much more with my time restraints. 

I went from literally  5-10 hits a day to 150-200 a day within the span of one week and I did it with just three easy to implement keyword placements. All I did was put my (well researched) Niche keyword in the title of my Network (you do this in the ADMIN). So, it used to be "little Prayer Box," now it is Little Prayer Box: Online Prayer Requests and intercession. This uses two of my NICHE keywords in one understandable phrase: 1. Online prayer Requests 2. Prayer Intercession.  If you weren't raised in Catholic or Christian Schools your like: what the? It doesn't matter.  What matters, is through my research these are the keywords people are searching with to find sites like mine, and one better, they are not saturated keywords, which means I don't have to compete with many sites because not many prayer sites are tapping into these keywords believe it or not. The saturated keywords for LPB are "prayer blog and prayer forum"

So if you have a  fishing site, I bet a shark fin that the keyword "Fishing Website" will do you no good because it's saturated beyond belief, but "Trout Fishing Fly" will bring in a Niche audience (I actually researched that keyword > 400hits/day, 40,000 competing pages. that's great!) Now compound that with "Snapper Fishing" (400hits/day 40,000 comp.) and you will receive even more hits. You see, it's useless to go after the obvious and saturated keywords. Unless you have big bucks, they will et you no where. Even Socialgo seems to understand this. If you look at their meta tags you'll see some strange keywords like "web Builder" (Something like that). If they tried to go after "Social Network," forget it! 

Ok, I'm rambling, let's finnish up. Second! You need to gather about four NICHE keywords for this. Place your main one (online prayer requests) in a h1 tag on your home page. Then scatter the rest through your home page content. When you do this, put them in sub titles (h2) or bold them, link them, italicize them, but whatever you do make it coherent. It doesn't matter if they bring people or not if your shoveling a bunch of crap on your home page. Do no more than four of these keywords on your home page and write your content around them. If your using the fishing example you could use a h1 title like "From Trout, FLY to Snapper Fishing, we're the Network for you!" Ok, you could do better... but see I got two key phrases in one H1 title.

Now this blog post is a little bit backwards because there is so so much that underlines these quick helpers. But until I get the new series out, I thought, why not? Why shouldn't you start playing with your SEO right now. We'll delve deeper later, just try it out, watch your stats about once a week. If you've used a tool like Google SEO (get a free adwords account), or Market Samurai correctly in finding your niche, you should see a jump. 

Lastly! You probably already comment on blogs in your Networks niche, so stop using your web URL or name as the link anchor. That's right! Use The trout fishing fly guy.  Here is a article on using anchor keywords. 

One last NOTE: It's even better if you have a really good Niche keyword (tht you know the stats on) in your actual URL and the title of your Socailgo Network.
