You can’t never underestimate the keyword research. Dave Kelly presents…
For those of you who have purchased some of my products in the past, you know that I have mentioned a site built by my wife.
http://www.greenbeansnmore.com
This site is a perfect lesson on organic SEO and how to apply basic techniques and turn a site into a traffic powerhouse..
This site currently averages around 5000 unique visitors per day, and that’s on a normal day. during those times of the year when holidays are upon us, this site has pulled in as many as 25,000 unique visitors per day.
This site is a passion and a labor of love for her. It was not built to make money but does pretty well.
She likes to cook. And this site 2 years later is the end result though it is always a work in progress.
Here are the lessons you can lern:
1 ) Keyword research. I NEVER make a page without doing keyword research – NEVER.
2 ) Quality content.
3 ) Updating the site.
4 ) On some of my early pages I used bbq-a, bbq-b, bbq-c, etc. as page url’s. I now use keywords in my page url’s – example:
http://www.greenbeansnmore.com/persianlovecake.html
5 ) When writing a title I use up to three keywords, and use a combination of terms that have high search numbers and lower search numbers.
6 ) As I often see my page come up on a Google search with the meta description I take care in writing a description that I think will catch the eye of the searcher.
7 ) I update the index page on a fairly regular basis using content corresponding with a particular time of year.
8 ) Whenever I add a new page or update pages I always update my sitemaps.
9 ) Getting links has probably been the most time consuming and frustrating thing I’ve had to do.
10 ) Article writing. This is another great way to get links to your site.
11 ) Monetizing the site.
Please keep in mind that results don’t happen overnight. Don’t give up on your site. You will be rewarded in time for your good work!
