Do It Yourself Seo

By Darcy Dole

Social Profiles: Create 1-2 profiles on social media sites on a weekly basis. Find sites in your niche, as well as sites that have a high PageRank and can bring in quality traffic. Build html backlinks from those sites back to your web site. (Weekly)

Q&A: Monitor Q&A sites like Yahoo Answers and WikiAnswers for questions relevant to your industry. Respond to those questions as a way to establish yourself as an authority in your niche and to build links and traffic to your web site. (Daily)

Perform Social Bookmarking Tasks: Once you've created quality content on your site, use social bookmarking sites to bookmark the content. Social bookmarking should be done with every post you believe is of the highest quality. How to posts, lists, and industry roundups or reviews fare well on social bookmarking web sites. (Per Post)

Track Buzz: Select a few keywords that you want to rank for and monitor and respond every time those keywords are mentioned in blog posts, forums, twitter status updates, or articles on the web. Monitor blogs, forums, social networks, and industry web sites where you can comment when your keyword is mentioned. (Daily)

Content Generation: Write how-to and informative articles and post them on high PageRank and highly trafficked sites. In the resource box, link back to your web site with one or two keywords. Monitor social networking sites, industry newsletters, and google blogs for ideas for new content. (Weekly)

Competitive Backlink: Monitor your competition and the backlinks they are building. Every time you get an alert (or manually check) that a new backlink is created, try to procure a backlink from that web site to your site. (Weekly)

Find Directory Submission Outlets: Find relevant directories that you can submit your web site to. Quality directories will have a higher PageRank and will include categories and topics that are relevant to your niche. (Weekly)
