Traffic Tips

SEEING WHAT THE SEARCH ENGINES SEE

Getting a Top 10 ranking is only half the battle; it just gets a link to your website in front of the searchers eyeballs.

Once you are on the first page of results, you still have to entice the visitor to pick your link from the 9 other competing sites.

When you use PPC, you get to hone the exact copy that makes the visitors (who are ready, able and willing to purchase) c'lick on your ad.

With Organic (un-paid) Search Engine listing you must use your HTML code to make a compelling pitch that will grab the readers attention.

The main link is derived from your TITLE tag.

But your description can come from either your META Description tag or from the words at the top of your page and around the keyword that the searcher typed in.

To take the guess work out of this use the Google Predictor

Poodle Predictor is a little known tactic for increasing web site traffic and yet it is so easy
to use that anyone can do it.

Go to google.com and type in "google poodle"

Click on any of the sites that host the predictor.

When there simply type in the url that you want to check to see what your site will look like in search-engine results. You might be surprised to find that what you thought google or any other search engine would pick up from your site such as your carefully crafted description is not at all what google sees andpresents to the public.

Keep changing the text at the top of your url until you get exactly what you want your visitors to see. Write new text if needed.

This will increase the amount of traffic that you get since most people don't know about this trick.

I encourage you to try this for yourself and see what other people see when viewing your search engine listing.
