I’m always looking for ways to increase search engine traffic to my blog. As it stood my page rank on Google was pretty abysmal; I’m embarrassed to even say what it was (definitely not top 10). It’s not that I didn’t try my hand at search engine optimization; I think at one point in time or another every blog writer and webmaster has tried to capitalize on the magic of keywords in order to increase search engine traffic through a more favorable page rank.
Unfortunately for me, and I’m sure thousands of other nonprofessional blog writers and website creators, my understanding of search engine optimization was limited to say the least; and my understanding of keywords even less so.
I’m a pretty hands-on kind of guy so obviously it was frustrating to me when my search engine optimization efforts yielded little results. Finally I decided enough was enough, and as the hosting fees started to add up I realized I needed to swallow my pride and use a professional company to increase search engine traffic to my website. I used a service called Get Visitors Now for my SEO needs, and I’ve got to say the experience was pretty positive.
Obviously my blog isn’t number one on Google, or even in the top five. But I will say that I am finally in the top 10 and although my page rank fluctuates from day to day I haven’t dropped below the top 10 for quite some time now.
What’s interesting to me is that the company didn’t really do anything differently from what I was trying originally, they just did it better. They knew what keywords I should be using, and they knew how to incorporate those keywords in a natural and user friendly way. They also knew which search engines I should be targeting, and how to go about submitting my website. All in all it wasn’t nearly as painful as I thought to increase search engine traffic to my website, and my only regret is that I did not take the plunge sooner.
