Are you wondering what you can do to get people to actually FIND your site in the search results? If so, and you have looked into SEO then surely you have become at least a little overwhelmed by all the possibilities.

How can you create a website which will get noticed without spending a lot of time learning all of the complicated terminology and concepts involved in SEO? If you are ready to make SEO simple and use it to get your site noticed, here are the four key principles to get you started.

First and foremost, think about focusing. How specific is your business? Do you know your target audience? If you cant answer these questions, you will find it very hard to differentiate your company.

It might take some time, but it is in your interests to get specific on what is your proposition, as it will ensure your site will be noticed by your targeted audience.

Secondly, you have to make sure you insert your keywords and key phrases not only in content, but also in headings and image alt tags - places where search engines will see them and understand your website is relevant.

Third, make sure that you have a strong call to action which will lead your visitors to click on to the next page from where they are. Google can actually tell what your click through rate is and considers your site to be more relevant if people are taking action once they get there. If you are unsure what kind of results you are getting then you need to install Google analytics right away.

Fourth, you need to make sure that you are linking to sites which are relevant and well known by the search engines. This means that you can have one thousand back links to just any site and still be behind a site which has fifty relevant links. The best way to build back links is to comment on other peoples blogs and to place articles on content delivery sites. Just make sure that you are connecting to relevant sites.

So you can get started optimizing your website. Take one step at a time until you have a solid format for building your sites SEO. Keep in mind, SEO is a quite long process and it requires time until you see the results of your work. But if you stay patient you will be rewarded with a great search engine ranking and a growing customer flow.
